Perhaps with a test of permissions?

First things first

To do it

• Menu item <File/Share>

Why does it say “Type @ to insert”?

• Try it out, nimrod.

Gee, thanks.

• You’re welcome!

✨ What the hey, this is a WYSIWYG document, right?

• Yes, it is.

So, like, whoopdeedo. Let’s share it… <…Menu item: File/Share>

💡 OK, let’s test Permissions…

What to do? Read the dang article again…

Or maybe this one: https://www.makeuseof.com/chrome-extensions-supercharge-google-docs-sharing/

• DocSecrets extension?

Errata / Bugs

• The title is centered in the document, but not the published page

• The link is a craaaaaaazy link

  • This page’s link is: https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vR3U20K1fn374G1d0UdZAb2EfcG3IwUaCd4SB5MR8-NowcUnQe1bbJMLGMr-OvKr7vGxJbNM_hP27Dt/pub

  • Can we make a pretty print link somehow? <research me>

    • Use bit.ly or equivalent?

      • Bit.ly can be free, but requires an account

    • Used tinyurl.com(free, no account) to produce this link: https://tinyurl.com/JustATestOfAWebSharedFile001

• The “live” updating of the web published doc is pretty cool (auto-updates every 5 minutes)

• There’s a big “Published using Google Docs” banner at the top of the published page

  • Can we make it go away?

    • There’s this: https://gdoc.pub/ ?

    • https://blogheist.com/embed-google-docs-in-wordpress/

  • Embedding

    • I tried embedding this page in a New Google Site, and the big banner was still on the published, embedded document. Too bad.

    • The auto-updating ceases to work on the Site? Seems to take a snapshot of the doc at the time the Site is published. [EDIT] It works, it’s just slow to update.

• Auto-saving of the document while editing is something to get used to for those unfamiliar with it
