<mtext> while editing .mml (newbie question)

[aasmith]

Could someone please tell me how to add an <mtext> tag to a document while you're editing a .mml file? I can do it just fine when I add a bit of math to a .html file, via the Insert menu.  But when I edit a .mml, that menu is totally greyed out and unusable.

(I could load up the source and add <mtext> </mtext> directly, but that defeats the entire purpose of using Amaya.  There's gotta be some way of doing it from the editor, but I can't figure it out.)

Thanks,
Adam

I think that - when editing mml document - the Insert menu should be available
with all but the Math menu disabled. Hence I suppose you found a bug... A
workaround until it is fixed: use the shortcut ctrl m, ctrl x to insert a
<mtext/>.

Thanks.  A keyboard shortcut is totally fine.

If this is a bug, is there a place where I should report it?

I think the Bug tracker would be the appropriate place:
http://www.w3.org/Amaya/User/Bugs.html
