[Level 2] What is the DOM?The Document Object Model (DOM) is a programming interface for web documents. It represents the structure of an HTML or XML document as a tree of objects, allowing JavaScript to interact with and manipulate the content dynamically. When a web page is loaded, the browser parses the HTML and constructs the DOM, enabling scripts to read, modify, and respond to user interactions. The DOM is the bridge between HTML and JavaScript, enabling dynamic content manipulation and interactivity. Understanding its structure and how to navigate, access, and modify it is fundamental for web development. By mastering DOM manipulation, developers can create interactive and dynamic web applications. The Structure of an HTML DocumentAn HTML document follows a hierarchical structure, where elements are nested inside each other, forming a tree-like representation. Example HTML Document:<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>DOM Example</title> </head> <body> <h1>Welcome to the DOM</h1> <p>This is a sample paragraph.</p> </body> </html> Corresponding DOM Representation:Document └── html ├── head │ └── title └── body ├── h1 └── p Each HTML element is a node in the DOM tree, and they can be accessed, modified, or removed using JavaScript. Types of DOM NodesThe DOM consists of different types of nodes: Document Node – Represents the entire document (document object in JavaScript). Element Nodes – HTML elements like <div>, <p>, <h1>. Attribute Nodes – Attributes inside elements like id, class. Text Nodes – The text content within elements. Example:<p id="message">Hello, World!</p> The DOM breakdown: Element Node: <p> ├── Attribute Node: id = "message" └── Text Node: "Hello, World!" Accessing the DOM in JavaScriptJavaScript provides several methods to access DOM elements: Using document.getElementById()let heading = document.getElementById("message"); console.log(heading.textContent); // Outputs: Hello, World! Using document.querySelector()let paragraph = document.querySelector("p"); console.log(paragraph.innerHTML); Using document.getElementsByClassName()let items = document.getElementsByClassName("item"); console.log(items[0].textContent); Modifying the DOMJavaScript allows dynamic changes to the DOM structure and content. Changing Contentdocument.getElementById("message").textContent = "DOM Manipulation!"; Changing Attributesdocument.getElementById("message").setAttribute("class", "highlight"); Creating and Appending Elementslet newElement = document.createElement("div"); newElement.textContent = "New Element Added!"; document.body.appendChild(newElement); You are reading Part 8 of the 39-part series: JavaScript Skill Progression: The Path from Beginner to Extreme.

You are reading Part 7 of the 39-part series: JavaScript Skill Progression: The Path from Beginner to Extreme. [Level 1] IntroductionDebugging is an essential skill for JavaScript developers, helping them identify and fix errors in their code. JavaScript provides built-in tools like console.log(), alert(), and browser developer tools to assist with debugging. JavaScript debugging tools like console.log(), alert(), and browser developer tools help developers identify and fix issues efficiently. While console.log() is ideal for inspecting values, browser developer tools provide advanced debugging capabilities, such as breakpoints and real-time code inspection. Mastering these tools will improve your ability to diagnose and resolve JavaScript errors effectively. Using console.log() for DebuggingThe console.log() function is the most commonly used debugging method. It prints messages to the browser’s console, helping developers inspect values and track code execution. Syntax:console.log(value); Example:let name = "Alice"; console.log("User name is:", name); Advantages of console.log():Helps track variable values. Debugs complex logic by adding multiple logs. Displays objects and arrays in a readable format. Logging Different Data Types:console.log("String: Hello World"); console.log("Number:", 42); console.log("Boolean:", true); console.log("Array:", [1, 2, 3]); console.log("Object:", { name: "Alice", age: 25 }); Using alert() for Quick DebuggingThe alert() function displays a pop-up message in the browser. While not ideal for large-scale debugging, it is useful for quick checks. Syntax:alert(message); Example:alert("Hello, welcome to the website!"); Limitations of alert():Interrupts user interaction. Cannot display complex data like objects and arrays effectively. Not suitable for debugging loops or large-scale applications. Using Browser Developer ToolsModern browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari) come with built-in developer tools that offer powerful debugging capabilities. Accessing Developer Tools:Google Chrome & Edge: Press F12 or Ctrl + Shift + I (Windows/Linux) or Cmd + Option + I (Mac). Firefox: Press F12 or Ctrl + Shift + K. Safari: Enable Developer Tools in Safari settings and press Cmd + Option + C. Key Features of Developer Tools:Console Tab: Displays logs, warnings, and errors. Elements Tab: Allows inspection and modification of HTML and CSS. Sources Tab: Enables JavaScript debugging with breakpoints. Network Tab: Monitors HTTP requests and responses. Application Tab: Manages local storage, session storage, and cookies. Using Breakpoints in Developer Tools:Breakpoints allow you to pause JavaScript execution and inspect variables step-by-step. Open Developer Tools (F12). Navigate to the Sources tab. Locate the JavaScript file. Click on a line number to set a breakpoint. Refresh the page and execution will pause at the breakpoint. Use Step Over, Step Into, and Step Out controls to navigate through code execution. Example of Using debugger Statement:let num = 10; debugger; // Execution will pause here if developer tools are open console.log(num); You are reading Part 7 of the 39-part series: JavaScript Skill Progression: The Path from Beginner to Extreme.

You are reading Part 6 of the 39-part series: JavaScript Skill Progression: The Path from Beginner to Extreme. [Level 1] IntroductionFunctions are one of the most fundamental building blocks of JavaScript. They allow for code reuse, modularity, and improved readability. JavaScript supports multiple ways of defining functions, each with unique properties and use cases. Understanding JavaScript functions, including declarations, expressions, arrow functions, parameters, and return values, is essential for writing clean and efficient code. Mastering these concepts enables better modularity and reusability in JavaScript applications. Function DeclarationsA function declaration defines a named function that can be called anywhere in the script due to hoisting. Syntax:function functionName(parameters) { // Code to execute return result; // Optional } Example:function greet(name) { return "Hello, " + name + "!"; } console.log(greet("Alice")); Function ExpressionsA function expression defines a function inside an expression and does not get hoisted like function declarations. Syntax:const functionName = function(parameters) { // Code to execute return result; }; Example:const add = function(a, b) { return a + b; }; console.log(add(5, 3)); Arrow FunctionsArrow functions are a more concise syntax introduced in ES6. They do not have their own this context, making them ideal for callbacks and functional programming. Syntax:const functionName = (parameters) => { return result; }; If the function has only one statement, the {} and return can be omitted: const functionName = (parameters) => result; Example:const multiply = (a, b) => a * b; console.log(multiply(4, 2)); Function ParametersFunctions can take parameters to make them more dynamic. Default ParametersDefault parameters allow setting default values for function arguments. function greet(name = "Guest") { return "Hello, " + name; } console.log(greet()); // "Hello, Guest" Rest ParametersRest parameters allow a function to accept an indefinite number of arguments. function sum(...numbers) { return numbers.reduce((total, num) => total + num, 0); } console.log(sum(1, 2, 3, 4)); // 10 Return ValuesFunctions return values using the return statement. If no return statement is provided, the function returns undefined by default. Example:function square(num) { return num * num; } console.log(square(5)); // 25 You are reading Part 6 of the 39-part series: JavaScript Skill Progression: The Path from Beginner to Extreme.

You are reading Part 5 of the 39-part series: JavaScript Skill Progression: The Path from Beginner to Extreme. [Level 1] IntroductionLoops are fundamental in programming, allowing developers to execute a block of code multiple times efficiently. JavaScript provides several looping mechanisms, including for, while, and do-while loops. Understanding these loops is crucial for writing efficient and maintainable code. Loops are essential for iterating over data, automating repetitive tasks, and implementing efficient algorithms. Mastering for, while, and do-while loops will significantly enhance your JavaScript programming skills, making your code more efficient and readable. The for LoopThe for loop is commonly used when the number of iterations is known beforehand. It consists of three parts: Initialization – Declares and initializes a loop variable. Condition – Specifies the condition that must remain true for the loop to continue. Increment/Decrement – Updates the loop variable after each iteration. Syntax:for (initialization; condition; increment/decrement) { // Code to execute in each iteration } Example:for (let i = 0; i < 5; i++) { console.log("Iteration number: " + i); } The while LoopThe while loop executes a block of code as long as a specified condition evaluates to true. It is useful when the number of iterations is unknown and depends on dynamic conditions. Syntax:while (condition) { // Code to execute as long as the condition is true } Example:let count = 0; while (count < 5) { console.log("Count: " + count); count++; } The do-while LoopThe do-while loop is similar to the while loop, but it guarantees that the block of code executes at least once before checking the condition. Syntax:do { // Code to execute at least once } while (condition); Example:let num = 0; do { console.log("Number: " + num); num++; } while (num < 5); Loop Control StatementsJavaScript provides additional control mechanisms to modify loop execution: break Statement – Terminates the loop immediately. for (let i = 0; i < 10; i++) { if (i === 5) break; console.log(i); } continue Statement – Skips the current iteration and moves to the next. for (let i = 0; i < 10; i++) { if (i % 2 === 0) continue; console.log(i); } Choosing the Right LoopUse for loops when the number of iterations is predetermined. Use while loops when the iterations depend on dynamic conditions. Use do-while loops when you need to ensure the loop runs at least once.

You are reading Part 4 of the 39-part series: JavaScript Skill Progression: The Path from Beginner to Extreme. [Level 1] IntroductionConditional statements allow JavaScript to make decisions based on conditions. These conditions evaluate to true or false, enabling the execution of specific blocks of code accordingly. The most commonly used conditional statements in JavaScript are if, else if, else, and switch. Conditional statements are essential in JavaScript for controlling the flow of execution based on different conditions. if, if-else, and switch statements help in making logical decisions within programs, allowing dynamic and responsive applications. The if StatementThe if statement executes a block of code if a specified condition evaluates to true. Syntax:if (condition) { // Code to execute if condition is true } Example:let age = 18; if (age >= 18) { console.log("You are an adult."); } The if-else StatementThe if-else statement provides an alternative execution path if the initial condition evaluates to false. Syntax:if (condition) { // Code to execute if condition is true } else { // Code to execute if condition is false } Example:let age = 16; if (age >= 18) { console.log("You are an adult."); } else { console.log("You are a minor."); } The if-else if-else StatementThe if-else if-else statement allows multiple conditions to be checked in sequence. The first condition that evaluates to true determines which block of code runs. Syntax:if (condition1) { // Code to execute if condition1 is true } else if (condition2) { // Code to execute if condition2 is true } else { // Code to execute if none of the conditions are true } Example:let score = 75; if (score >= 90) { console.log("Grade: A"); } else if (score >= 80) { console.log("Grade: B"); } else if (score >= 70) { console.log("Grade: C"); } else { console.log("Grade: F"); } The switch StatementThe switch statement is used when multiple conditions depend on the same expression. It provides a cleaner alternative to multiple if-else if statements. Syntax:switch (expression) { case value1: // Code to execute if expression === value1 break; case value2: // Code to execute if expression === value2 break; default: // Code to execute if no match is found } Example:let day = "Monday"; switch (day) { case "Monday": console.log("Start of the workweek."); break; case "Friday": console.log("End of the workweek!"); break; case "Saturday": case "Sunday": console.log("It’s the weekend!"); break; default: console.log("Midweek day."); } Break and Default in Switch Statementsbreak: Stops execution and exits the switch statement after a case is matched. default: Executes when no case matches the expression.

You are reading Part 3 of the 39-part series: JavaScript Skill Progression: The Path from Beginner to Extreme. [Level 1] IntroductionOperators and expressions form the backbone of JavaScript, allowing developers to perform calculations, compare values, and control logic. JavaScript provides various types of operators, including arithmetic, comparison, logical, and assignment operators. Understanding how these work is essential for writing efficient and effective code. Operators and expressions are vital components of JavaScript, allowing developers to perform calculations, make decisions, and control program flow. Mastering arithmetic, comparison, logical, and assignment operators will enable you to write more effective and efficient JavaScript code. Arithmetic OperatorsArithmetic operators perform mathematical calculations on numeric values. Operator Description Example + Addition let sum = 5 + 3; // 8 - Subtraction let difference = 10 - 4; // 6 * Multiplication let product = 6 * 3; // 18 / Division let quotient = 12 / 4; // 3 % Modulus (Remainder) let remainder = 10 % 3; // 1 ** Exponentiation (ES6) let power = 2 ** 3; // 8 ++ Increment let x = 5; x++; // x is now 6 -- Decrement let y = 10; y--; // y is now 9 Comparison OperatorsComparison operators evaluate values and return true or false. Operator Description Example == Equal to (loose comparison) 5 == "5" // true === Strictly equal to 5 === "5" // false != Not equal to 10 != 5 // true !== Strictly not equal 10 !== "10" // true > Greater than 7 > 5 // true < Less than 3 < 8 // true >= Greater than or equal to 5 >= 5 // true <= Less than or equal to 4 <= 6 // true Logical OperatorsLogical operators allow complex logical expressions by combining multiple conditions. Operator Description Example && Logical AND (5 > 3) && (10 > 8) // true ` ` ! Logical NOT !(5 > 3) // false && returns true only if both conditions are true. || returns true if at least one condition is true. ! negates the result, converting true to false and vice versa. Assignment OperatorsAssignment operators assign values to variables and modify them in shorthand. Operator Description Example = Assign let a = 10; += Add and assign a += 5; // a = a + 5 -= Subtract and assign a -= 3; // a = a - 3 *= Multiply and assign a *= 2; // a = a * 2 /= Divide and assign a /= 2; // a = a / 2 %= Modulus and assign a %= 3; // a = a % 3 **= Exponentiate and assign a **= 2; // a = a ** 2 Expressions in JavaScriptExpressions are combinations of values, variables, and operators that JavaScript evaluates to produce a result. Types of Expressions:Arithmetic Expressions – let result = (5 + 2) * 3; // 21 String Expressions – let fullName = "John" + " " + "Doe"; // "John Doe" Logical Expressions – let isValid = (5 > 3) && (10 > 8); // true Assignment Expressions – let x = 10; You are reading Part 3 of the 39-part series: JavaScript Skill Progression: The Path from Beginner to Extreme.

You are reading Part 2 of the 39-part series: JavaScript Skill Progression: The Path from Beginner to Extreme. [Level 1] IntroductionVariables are fundamental to programming, allowing developers to store, manipulate, and retrieve data dynamically. JavaScript uses variables to hold values that can be used throughout the script. Understanding how variables work and the different data types available is essential for writing efficient and error-free code. Understanding JavaScript variables and data types is crucial for writing robust applications. With a proper grasp of primitive and non-primitive data types, developers can manipulate data efficiently while avoiding common pitfalls like unintended type coercion. As JavaScript continues to evolve, mastering variable scoping and type handling will improve the quality and maintainability of your code. Declaring Variables in JavaScriptJavaScript provides three keywords for declaring variables: var – The oldest way to declare variables, now largely replaced by let and const due to scoping issues. let – Allows block-scoped variable declarations. const – Used for declaring constants, meaning their value cannot be reassigned. Example:var oldVar = "This is a var variable"; let newVar = "This is a let variable"; const constantVar = "This value cannot be changed"; JavaScript Data TypesJavaScript has two main categories of data types: 1. Primitive Data TypesPrimitive data types are immutable and store single values. String – A sequence of characters. let text = "Hello, World!"; Number – Represents both integer and floating-point numbers. let num = 42; Boolean – Represents true or false values. let isJavaScriptFun = true; Undefined – A variable that has been declared but not assigned a value. let noValue; console.log(noValue); // undefined Null – Represents an intentional absence of a value. let emptyValue = null; Symbol – A unique and immutable identifier (introduced in ES6). let uniqueId = Symbol("id"); BigInt – Used for working with very large numbers beyond the Number type limit. let bigNumber = BigInt(9007199254740991); 2. Non-Primitive (Reference) Data TypesReference data types hold objects and collections of data. Object – A collection of key-value pairs. let person = { name: "John Doe", age: 30 }; Array – A list-like collection of values. let fruits = ["Apple", "Banana", "Cherry"]; Function – A reusable block of code. function greet(name) { return "Hello, " + name; } Type Checking in JavaScriptJavaScript provides the typeof operator to check the type of a variable: console.log(typeof 42); // "number" console.log(typeof "Hello"); // "string" console.log(typeof true); // "boolean" console.log(typeof undefined); // "undefined" console.log(typeof null); // "object" (a known JavaScript quirk) console.log(typeof Symbol("id")); // "symbol" console.log(typeof BigInt(9007199254740991)); // "bigint" console.log(typeof { name: "John" }); // "object" console.log(typeof [1, 2, 3]); // "object" (arrays are a type of object) console.log(typeof function() {}); // "function" You are reading Part 2 of the 39-part series: JavaScript Skill Progression: The Path from Beginner to Extreme.

You are reading Part 1 of the 39-part series: JavaScript Skill Progression: The Path from Beginner to Extreme. [Level 1] What is JavaScript?JavaScript is a high-level, interpreted programming language that enables dynamic behavior on web pages. It was created by Brendan Eich in 1995 and has since become one of the core technologies of the web, alongside HTML and CSS. JavaScript allows developers to create interactive and engaging web experiences by manipulating the Document Object Model (DOM), handling user events, and dynamically updating content without requiring a page refresh. JavaScript follows the ECMAScript standard, which ensures consistency across different environments. The language has evolved significantly over the years, introducing new features like arrow functions, async/await, and ES6 modules, making it more powerful and developer friendly. JavaScript is a versatile and powerful programming language that plays a crucial role in modern web development. Whether it’s creating interactive websites, building backend services, or developing cross-platform applications, JavaScript remains an essential skill for developers. Understanding how it works and where it runs is the first step in mastering the language and unlocking its full potential. How JavaScript WorksJavaScript is a single-threaded, event-driven language that executes code in a sequence known as the Execution Context. It uses the JavaScript Engine, which interprets and executes the code. The engine consists of three main components: Memory Heap – Stores variables and objects. Call Stack – Keeps track of function execution. Event Loop & Callback Queue – Manages asynchronous operations, ensuring smooth execution of tasks like API requests and UI interactions. JavaScript code runs inside an execution context, starting with the Global Execution Context, followed by individual Function Execution Contexts as needed. This allows JavaScript to manage scopes and closures efficiently. Where JavaScript RunsJavaScript can run in various environments, including browsers and server-side platforms: 1. In Web BrowsersJavaScript is primarily known for running in web browsers. Every modern browser, such as Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge, has its own JavaScript engine: V8 (Google Chrome, Edge) SpiderMonkey (Mozilla Firefox) JavaScriptCore (Nitro) (Apple Safari) These engines compile JavaScript into machine code, optimizing execution speed. JavaScript in the browser allows for: DOM manipulation to update web page content dynamically. Handling user interactions (clicks, keyboard input, etc.). Making HTTP requests (AJAX, Fetch API) for data retrieval. Running animations and visual effects. 2. On the Server (Node.js)Node.js is a runtime environment that allows JavaScript to run outside the browser, enabling backend development. It is built on the V8 engine and provides additional capabilities, including: File system access (reading/writing files). Running web servers (using frameworks like Express.js). Database interaction (MongoDB, PostgreSQL, etc.). Handling concurrent network requests efficiently with an event-driven, non-blocking I/O model. 3. Other EnvironmentsJavaScript is also used in: Desktop Applications (Electron.js for cross-platform apps like VS Code and Slack). Mobile Applications (React Native for iOS and Android development). Internet of Things (IoT) (Running on microcontrollers and smart devices). Game Development (Using libraries like Phaser.js and Three.js for 2D/3D games).

But although it worked, it was calculating the seconds which was not accurate at all 😁 So, I created a MOSTLY CSS Clock… Which you can see on CodePen.io → https://codepen.io/jessicabrown1028/pen/RNbeKEd This clock, which honestly is nothing fancy, just some basic CSS, basic HTML, and stupid JavaScript to get your local time and sync the seconds… Pfft! @import url("https://fonts.cdnfonts.com/css/lcd"); /* Retro Digital Font */ body { display: flex; justify-content: center; align-items: center; height: 100vh; background-color: #1d1e22; } .clock { width: 250px; height: 250px; border-radius: 50%; border: 5px solid white; position: relative; display: flex; justify-content: center; align-items: center; } /* Center dot */ .clock::before { content: ""; width: 8px; height: 8px; background: white; border-radius: 50%; position: absolute; z-index: 10; } /* Digital Clock Display */ .digital-display { position: absolute; top: 65%; transform: translateY(-50%); font-size: 20px; font-family: "LCD", sans-serif; color: red; background: black; padding: 8px 12px; border-radius: 5px; box-shadow: 0 0 5px red; text-align: center; width: 105px; display: flex; justify-content: space-between; } /* Style for AM/PM text */ #ampm { font-size: 14px; margin-left: 5px; } /* Hour Markers */ .hour-markers { position: absolute; width: 100%; height: 100%; } .hour-markers div { position: absolute; left: 48%; top: 46%; width: 0px; height: 20px; text-align: center; font-size: 18px; font-weight: bold; color: bisque; transform-origin: center; } /* Position the numbers inside the clock */ .hour-markers div:nth-child(1) { transform: rotate(30deg) translateY(-100px) rotate(-30deg); content: "1"; } .hour-markers div:nth-child(2) { transform: rotate(60deg) translateY(-100px) rotate(-60deg); content: "2"; } .hour-markers div:nth-child(3) { transform: rotate(90deg) translateY(-100px) rotate(-90deg); content: "3"; } .hour-markers div:nth-child(4) { transform: rotate(120deg) translateY(-100px) rotate(-120deg); content: "4"; } .hour-markers div:nth-child(5) { transform: rotate(150deg) translateY(-100px) rotate(-150deg); content: "5"; } .hour-markers div:nth-child(6) { transform: rotate(180deg) translateY(-100px) rotate(-180deg); content: "6"; } .hour-markers div:nth-child(7) { transform: rotate(210deg) translateY(-100px) rotate(-210deg); content: "7"; } .hour-markers div:nth-child(8) { transform: rotate(240deg) translateY(-100px) rotate(-240deg); content: "8"; } .hour-markers div:nth-child(9) { transform: rotate(270deg) translateY(-100px) rotate(-270deg); content: "9"; } .hour-markers div:nth-child(10) { transform: rotate(300deg) translateY(-100px) rotate(-300deg); content: "10"; } .hour-markers div:nth-child(11) { transform: rotate(330deg) translateY(-100px) rotate(-330deg); content: "11"; } .hour-markers div:nth-child(12) { transform: rotate(0deg) translateY(-100px); content: "12"; } /* Clock Hands */ .hand { position: absolute; bottom: 50%; left: 50%; transform-origin: bottom; background: white; border-radius: 5px; transform: translateX(-50%) rotate(0deg); } .hour { width: 6px; height: 60px; background: aquamarine; } .minute { width: 4px; height: 80px; background: darksalmon; } .second { width: 2px; height: 90px; background: red; }<div class="clock"> <div class="hour-markers"> <div>1</div> <div>2</div> <div>3</div> <div>4</div> <div>5</div> <div>6</div> <div>7</div> <div>8</div> <div>9</div> <div>10</div> <div>11</div> <div>12</div> </div> <!-- Digital Display with AM/PM --> <div class="digital-display" id="digital-clock"> <span id="time">00:00:00</span> <span id="ampm">AM</span> </div> <!-- Clock hands --> <div class="hand hour" id="hour-hand"></div> <div class="hand minute" id="minute-hand"></div> <div class="hand second" id="second-hand"></div> </div>function updateClock() { const now = new Date(); let hours = now.getHours(); const minutes = now.getMinutes(); const seconds = now.getSeconds(); // Determine AM or PM const ampm = hours >= 12 ?

Design and implement a job queue system that can process multiple tasks asynchronously, ensuring scalability for enterprise workloads. Basic Requirements:✅ Implement a task queue where jobs can be added and processed in the background. ✅ Use multi-threading or multi-processing to handle tasks efficiently. ✅ Each job should have a status (e.g., Pending, Processing, Completed). ✅ Allow users to submit new tasks dynamically. Bonus Features:🔹 Implement priority levels for jobs (e.g., High, Medium, Low). 🔹 Store job information in a database (SQLite, PostgreSQL, etc.). 🔹 Expose a REST API for adding jobs and checking statuses. 🔹 Add retry mechanisms for failed jobs. 🔹 Integrate a message queue system (e.g., RabbitMQ, Redis, or Kafka). Example Usage:# Adding tasks to the queue job_id = job_queue.add_task("generate_report", {"user_id": 123, "format": "PDF"}) print(f"Job {job_id} added!") # Checking job status status = job_queue.get_status(job_id) print(f"Job {job_id} status: {status}") Why This Matters for Enterprises?Enterprise systems often need asynchronous processing for tasks like: Data processing pipelines Report generation Background automation Building a scalable job queue system teaches key concepts in parallel computing, distributed systems, and cloud scalability.

With the new Invision Board v5, the CKEditor has been removed and a new TipTap editor has been added. This no longer allows the button to be present until I figure out how to make a node, or extension, or whatever it is called for TipTap. I will be researching and learning this although, for now, if you would like to include a Wiki tip on your posts, articles, or anything that uses the tip tap editor, I have included the ability to use a little snippet inside your text. {{ wiki-PAGENAME_SLUG }}PAGE NAME{{ /wiki }} # Use without the spaces Working example: {{ wiki-Eutychius_of_Constantinople }}Eutychius of Constantinople{{ /wiki }} # Use without the spacesFor a real example: {{wiki-Eutychius_of_Constantinople}}Eutychius of Constantinople{{/wiki}} (hopefully), will show an interesting fact about a really old person. There is a slight bug… This bug is not really a bug, but more of how the pages are processed. When you hit Submit, it will show the actual code, this is because it is updated by Ajax and the JavaScript cannot observe the JavaScript (maybe I’ll fix it, but I am too busy learning TipTap), just refresh the page and it will show correctly.
