Suggestions for improvement of documentation

I am using the CharInsert extension on a local wiki installation. However I find the information in Extension:CharInsert#Notes confusing, not very helpful.

I actually found important information for customization at other places.

Following explanations:

  • Use 
 to add new lines (\n).
    • I had to use \\n with double backslashes
  • Enclose white spaces in nowiki tags when needed.
    • <nowiki> tag might actually work (not sure here), however using just the dot sign . is much more convenient
  • And probably the most confusing issue was: depending on the wiki configuration it might take quite a while till the changes in Gadget-charinsert-core.js are actually used, in my case the toolbar used an older version from the cache for certain time.
