Dear Elle,

Welcome! Sorry that you have to jump through so many hoops for
modifying our content.

I think it is easier for authors on this mailing list to use modified
content in XML. Don't worry if the tags are all messed up (there is
`make validate-en` for that) or the formatting is off. It is easier to
fix that automatically from our perspective. HTML and XML are
unfortunately not exactly the same.

As Andrew suggested, I'd certainly try different editors.

I know it is a big burden, but currently the only option we have which
would make a good contribution. There are ideas to move forward, but not
in place yet.

Kind Regards,
