How can I edit a document when it fails to display?

[ This article applies from Daisy version any to version any ]

In some rare circumstances, there might be something in a document that causes its rendering to fail.

For example, the document contains a "query-and-include" instruction which selects so many documents that there is not enough memory to render them.

In such cases, the page actions menu will not be available, so it is not possible to edit the document in order to fix the error.

It is however still possible to open the editor by manually entering the URL: remove the final ".html" and append "/edit?startWithGet=true". For example if the URL of the document is:

http://localhost:8888/daisy/mysite/123-DSY.html

then you would use:

http://localhost:8888/daisy/mysite/123-DSY/edit?startWithGet=true
