notes
<nodisp>
Hi John, only you and I (steve) can see this text.
This page is easy to change. The table above has columns, you edit it by clicking on its Edit button at the bottom.
Then you see the table and it can be edited.
Here's the trick. if you want to put in text like “confirmed” and you don't want others to see it, make it white text on the white background:
You can see this but you can't see this but the smarties can see it by dragging across it.
Other rules
All lines are scrunched together. To force one line to end and the following text to start on another line, add a backslash-backslash-space
like I've done here.
Text can be bolded (select text and hit the B above, it puts before and after bolded text.
