Thank you. Yes, I will write to the user list later.

> Just out of curiosity why did you switch from SimpleMDE to EasyMDE?

The last commit to the SimpleMDE repository was 7 years ago. The last commit to the EasyMDE repository was 3 monts ago. SimpleMDE doesn't know anything about Bootstrap 5 and doesn't support dark themes.

> I am totally stumped on how to autofocus the username field in the login dropdown.

It seems that only JavaScript can help here. But I haven't tried to implement this yet.

> How the dropdown magically gets opened by clicking on the link 

As far as I understand, Bootstrap uses PopperJS for this. 

> shouldn't it be a button not a link

Unfortunately, it doesn't work otherwise. Initially I tried to implement a button, but ran into an issue with absolute/relative position of the dropdown and unexpected narrowing of the menu on "off-canvas". I didn't understand what was going on for almost a week. Let it be a link, at least it works.

> Ideally changes should be able to be made without requiring a high end web developer well versed in a framework.

Bootstrap sets its own rules. Some things get more complicated, but we don't have to write a complex stylesheets from scratch. Not all custom changes will work well with Bootstrap.

> However we only really provide info on modifying the TAL templates. We really need something similar for jinja2 (and whichever framework is used).

Yes. I even wanted to create an issue about this. 

Also, not many web applications use Zope TAL today. Jinja is widely known, and few people will want to learn another template engine. I believe that Jinja should be covered in the documentation first. And Zope TAL is only as an additional feature, so as not to scare potential users. I think we won't have a real alternative to Jinja in the next decade because Ansible uses it.
