Er ... no ... just, no!

Why not? I think Marc made a valid point.

Because there is no paragraph until there is text! You can have text without paragraphs, you can't have paragraphs without text!

That's exactly the point, the docs didn't elude to that at all. The first thing it said was "to create a paragraph" even though it was talking about creating text within one. Marc made a valid point.

Is the documentation for the wiki on a wiki? If so, fix it.

A Wiki about a Wiki, oh no "Stack Overflow".

Nope, it's in the wiki editor helpful hints section.

I know -- I think my subject line should have been "doesn't that sound contradictory?"
My subject line wasn't very intuitive, haha.

Yes, this is a problem that I have complained about, a few times. Chris and crew are aware. So far you have to wait a few minutes and your post will show up. Just go with the flow, I guess.

Yeah, I'm not upset, actually though it was humorous. When I saw the moderation email I realized where my post went. I see it's there, and the novelty has worn off...

I want to commit a crime that may put me on death row.
- Months start at 0. January is 0. WTF. I realize this is probably because whatever sh*t for brains wrote Date was thinking, oh, month should be an index so month[0] == 'January". Idiot.
- Changes date even though I'm only providing a date, so the time defaults to 0 Zulu, which means that at the moment, today is yesterday somewhere in the world, so all my dates are back one day. Same UI later in the day shows the correct date.

My lady wrote the calendar herself because the java cal is elephanting
if(this.signature != "")
{
MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature);
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("404-Signature not found");
}

But today in some parts of the world is yesterday in some parts of the world.
And January definitely is nothing to me!

I cant understand how people are using javascript dates with node.js in production systems. I tried using node some time back and the issues with dates is what made me run from it like hell. Even specialized datetime handling libraries like Moment.js and Date.js are almost useless.

Happily I'm not using node. I'm just using the javascript Date object, and that only to fix the damn date handling. So now I have code like this:
function fixupDates(data, view) {
for (var i = 0; i < data.length; i++) {
var row = data[i]
for (var j = 0; j < view.fields.length; j++) {
var field = view.fields[j]
if (field.type == "date") {
var dateval = row[field.name]
if (dateval.length >= 10) {
var year = dateval.substring(0, 4)
var month = dateval.substring(5, 7)
var day = dateval.substring(8, 10)
row[field.name] = new Date(year, month - 1, day)
}
}
}
}
}
Which as to walk through every f*cking row of the dataset that I just AJAX loaded!
Thankfully, because I use the same library for loading grid data and because I have the view definition in the javascript, I've only needed to fix this once and it fixes all my grids where a data field is rendered (BTW, I'm using jqxGrid)

You know, you can extend/replace JavaScript objects - even Date...

Endorse your pain/angry.
The biggest fault is just the weird language and the pseudo-APIs behind it. That would be acceptable in a kids learning world, but we'll pay all this JavaScript spreading in the (near) future...and will be a boomerang!
.Net and C# forever...
