When the user clicks the "edit" button on a page, i want the text displayed within the textframe for editing to be different from the article text (modified)

is that clearer?

Cheers

I don't know what he wants, but for those of us using the ProtectSection extension, it would be nice if the <protect> tag didn't show up when it's the very last thing in a section edit. As long as it would get put back afterwards! As it is set up now, an empty section followed by a protected section gets a textarea with <protect> near the top. The natural thing for the user to do is to click somewhere in the box and add text after the <protect> tag.

I think there are probably better ways to handle this minor problem, though... I just haven't come up with one yet!

Sounds like a strange request - just out of curiosity, what are you trying to do, exactly?
