[WikiEducator] Re: A sneak preview of WYSIWYG editing in WikiEducator :-)
Love the table function! It has lots of features and seems to have good default settings. And what's even better, I can use rich text editing to edit (and it seems like I can use all of the features) tables that already exist. Big complex tables are so hard to navigate in the wiki format. This will make creating content and keeping it current SO much easier AND less error prone. Jim and Wayne, Thanks so much for your efforts on this.

Hi Jim, Tried it just now. Its really good. But one query, If I make some changes, how to undo it as I am not able to get any undo option in its history. Or I am missing something.
