The problem is this: visitors are failing to read and comprehend the last instruction on the first page of the tutorial. The one that reads: Select the text below and click on the 'DoIt' button. ... How to fix this? How to avoid this PR nightmare? I can think of at least three easy solutions:
Change the button from "DoIt" to "do the selected text"
Change the first line to: Profstef next "(you must select this entire line of text.)"
But the best one might be: Catch the parse error and if it's a null, remind the user she must first select the text.
Some Smalltalk implementations auto-select the entire line if nothing is selected. I like that very much.
