RE: a small wishlist

2>> I have been using Amaya 10 for the last 6 months and I think it is a great program. There are a couple of things I would like to see added:
>>
>> 1. When making a number list it would be nice if it worked like MS Word. This is what I mean:
>> 1. Heading text
>> 2. Heading 2 text

>> 2.2 more text
>> 3. text
>

OK.  I will have to read up on that.

>> 2. an updated parser. The parser in Amaya shows I have errors, but when I run the file using validator.w3.org it comes back clean. Here is what the parser says:
>> line 441, char 91: Warning - unknown tag <=>
>> line 664, char 91: Warning - unknown tag <=>
>> line 1234, char 116: Warning - unknown tag
>>
>> Here is line 441 and 664:
>> 0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ!"#$%&'()*+,-./:;&<=>?@[\]^_`{|}~
>>
>> Here is line 1234:
>> abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789\`\~\!\@\#\$\%\^\&\*\(\)\-\_\+\=\[\]\;\'\,\.\/\\?\:\"\{\}\|\

Sorry, but the page is not publicly available.  There is no cdata.  The code is:

text 

0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ!"#$%&'()*+,-./:;&<=>?@[\]^_`{|}~ (space included) 

>> 3. a way to insert the date and time i.e. Alt-I, Date and September 18, 2008 is put into the document.

OK.  Not a great place to put it but now that I know it is good.  When I used it to insert a time stamp all I got was 2008-09-20, not September 20, 2008.

>> 4. The ability to use Shift-down to highlight things. Right now I can't highlight past an end tag. Oddly I can highlight all I want using shift-up. This might be a bug. This happens in the source window

Good

>> 5. Use the mouse to move things like any other windows app. Highlight the stuff you want to move (left click hold and highlight), release, left click inside the highlighted area and move the text.

I have no idea what that means but ok
