<li>The reason the URL has a different structure is that cave 171 has a lot of photographs associated with it (unlike 172), and these photos have been put in a separate folder /171/ .

<li>Cave 171 has a lot of photographs associated with it (unlike 172), and these photos have been put in a separate folder /171/ . This is why we have what appeared to be a redundant part of the URL in the other cave: if there are photos, we need somewhere to put them.
<li>This cave also has a correct link to a survex file under the heading "Survex File"
Click on <a href="/survexfile/caves-1623/171/171.svx">This survex file</a> and you can see the names and details of the survey done in 2016 by Jenny and Olly.
Click on '3d download' in the cave description page and you will open the centreline in 3d on your computer - if you have survex installed (which you should do: Olly wrote it and he will be upset if you don't).

<p>Behind the scenes, you are editing different .xml files for the cave and for each entrance.
Troggle collects these together to make an XML page for the cave (or entrance).
So each field you fill in on the form may contain arbitrary HTML. Be careful!</p>
<h3>Gotcha</h3>
<p>When creating a new cave you have just discovered, you can't create the entrance the first time you are on the form.
<p>Create the cave, click the Submit button to save it to the system.
<p>The next page will be your cave page as if you had clicked on its name in the "<a href="/caves">Caves</a>" page.
<p>Now you can now click on "New Entrance" at the bottom of the description page to create and edit the entrance details.
