Till-
For example (you have pressed the "IMG" button):
[HELP BAR] [B] [/A/] [_U_] ... [IMG] [ [[Image:Example-Image.jpg]] ] [ If you want to use images on a page, ] [ you use the [[Image:...]] syntax. For ] [ proper formating the image, put some ] [ <div style:...> in front and after the] [ img ... ]
Yes, that is one possibility I've thought about. I also agree that some of the example texts are unhelpful - they were not written with the help bar in mind.
However, before I experiment further with the help bar, I'll try building a downgraded version of the toolbar which works with prompt() instead of the text selection (so you get a message box asking you to enter text in bold, instead of being able to select+click, in browsers which do not support it). The text could either be appended at the end (with a notice in the messagebox saying so) or put in an input box like the example text box. In the latter case, the text could be auto-selected for easy copy & pasting.
We have the following at our disposal in most browsers: -prompt() and alert() -overwrite form field contents -append at beginning or end -focus form elements
Setting form elements visible/invisible is probably not possible in some old browsers (NS 4 etc.).
