<h3 id="troggle">Troggle - what it is</a></h3>
<p>
Troggle is the software collection (not really a "package") based on <a href="https://www.djangoproject.com/">Django</a>
originally intended to manage all expo data in a logical and accessible way
and publish it on the web.
<p>Only a small part of troggle's original plan was fully implemented and deployed.
Many of the things it was intended to replace are still operating as a motley collection written by many different people in
several languages (but mostly perl and python; we won't talk about the person who likes to use OCamL).
Today troggle is used for only three things:
<ol>
<li>Reformatting all the visible webpages such that they have a coherent style and have a contents list at the top-left
hand corner. This is particularly true of the handbook you are reading now and the historic records of past expeditions.
<li>Publishing the "guidebook descriptions" of caves. The user who is creating a new guidebook description
can do this by filling-in some online forms. (And managing all the cave suvey data to produce this.)
<li>Providing a secondary way of editing individual pages of the handbook and historic records pages
for very quick and urgent changes.
This is the "Edit this page" capability; see <a href="update.html#editthispage"> for
how to use it</a> and <em>how to tidy up afterwards</em>.
</ol>
<h3>The first thing to do</h3>
