<h1>Expo Systems To-Do List</h1>
<button onclick="window.location.href = 'todo.html_edit';">Edit this to-do list</button>
<!-- ------------------- Don't touch anything above this line --------------------------->
<h2>How this works</h2>
<p><b>Click twice on a sub-heading to reveal</b> the individual to-do items. Click again to hide.<br />
If a heading is in italics, then there are hidden items.
<p><b>Click on the main "How this works" heading</b> to toggle reveal/hide <b>everything.</b>
<p>Printing this page uses a much smaller font. Complain to <a href="mailto:expo-tech@lists.wookware.org">the nerd list</a> if you don't like this behaviour.
<p>Edit this page by clicking on the big blue button. It uses the same "Edit this page" function that you may have used before. Just be careful not to touch the code at the top and bottom of the page.
<p>We are working on a more capable and easier-to-use system which will mimic how <a href="https://github.com/CaveSurveying/CUCCexposurveyissues/issues">GitHub Issues</a> do this sort of thing.
<p>To see the "data maintenance" and "survey data-entry" to-do lists, go to <a href="todo-data.html">the other TO-DO list</a>
