## Questions

- **I have difficulty pasting my questions into HackMD/HedgeDoc (here). Do you have some instructions on how to write here?**

    - A: HackMD/HedgeDoc can look a bit differend depending on the view you are in. Can you see the three icons on top left corner, next to HackMD/HedgeDoc text? There’s pencil, this side-by-side symbol, and an eye (see below for a screenshot). In eye view, you can’t edit, you are just viewing. The other two reveal the markdown (MD) version of the page, which you can edit. I find it easiest to edit with the side-by-side view, but it can be a bit slow sometimes. First time opening the page, the small Edit (pencil) button might be on right next to the table of contents. Please note that it might make things faster if you **switch to view only mode when not editing**!

:::info
The small pencil icon for entering edit mode for the first time. You might need to scroll all the way up to see it.

:::

:::info
The bigger HedgeDoc/HackMD toolbar for switching between modes later on.
