This is a test~document created within Authorea. The program's~text
editor is rather primitive~in comparison with a professional WP package
like Word.~This may not matter if the bulk of the text under discussion
would be imported from a pre-existing document.

\par\null

There are formatting options for text~about on the level of the OJS
abstract-editing options, i.e. \emph{italic}, \textbf{bold}, three
levels of heading, bullet-points and~numbered tables, and that's about
it. Functions for adding citations and datasets are~more advanced and
clearly aimed at the scientific writing demographic.

\par\null

I assume this document will not be visible online as the free trial
allows one private document, which I guess is this.



\par\null\par\null

That was interesting - I inserted text and got the story so far
duplicated, and can now edit properly again.~Suspect it's just
idiosyncratic behaviour on the part of the editing tools.

\par\null

I'm also getting emails of each comment that comes in, which I hope is
an optional feature. Could be good for the discussion angle~but might
get annoying quite quickly in a busy document.

\par\null

Time to try importing text from another file, which is~what Elaine's
colleague~apparently wants to do.

{{{P is a 47-year-old former teacher who has two convictions, both for
offences committed 16 years previously at a time when she was suffering
from undiagnosed, and therefore untreated, schizophrenia. }}{{The first
conviction was for a minor shoplifting offence and the second was for
failing to surrender to the court in relation to the shoplifting charge.
Both convictions were sentenced on the same date by way of conditional
discharge. A is a 51-year-old finance director who has 3 convictions
dating back to when he was 17 and 18. The first conviction was for theft
from a market stall, for which he was fined £30. The second and third
relate to the theft of a motorcycle and driving without insurance, for
which he was fined £50 and required to attend at an attendance centre
for 24 hours.}}}

\par\null

Text above~was copy-pasted~from a~Word doc, no~problems there.~Browser's
done its best to preserve the original formatting.
