Jes ja, sed estas penige farigi al la programo tion fari, do mi 
flankenlasis gxin intertempe... mi denove restarigis gxin, eble per ioma 
kosto je mia menssaneco. ;)  Bonvolu elprovi gxin.

Ankoaux eblas, ke oni elektu X-an _legadon_ per la preferoj, sed 
(denove) ne plu eblas redakti "pure" Unikode: la teksto de la nuna 
artikolo konvertigxas X-en en la redaktilo, kaj la Xajxoj konvertigxas 
Unikoden kiam konservitaj; ne forgesu do aldoni sekvan Xon kiam vi 
tajpas "Linux" aux "Bruxelles" a.s. T.e., plimalpli same je la antauxa 
vikiprogramo.

Se oni efektive deziras "pure" Unikodan redaktadon, tion mi ankaux povus 
reebligi.

Right, but that's a pain to get the software to do so I left it for 
later... I've got it stuffed back in now at perhaps some cost to my 
mental health. ;)  Bang away at it and see if it breaks.

You can still select X viewing in the user preferences, but there's now 
currently no way to do "pure" Unicode editing; the text of the current 
article will be converted to X-system in the edit box, and the special X 
sequences will be converted on input, so remember to add a second X when 
you type "Linux" or "Bruxelles" or whatnot. Ie, pretty much like on the 
previous software.

If there's demand for "pure" Unicode editing, I can add that in too.
