Edit the Text[]

Edit the Text, as seen from its name, was a site made for editing a certain page with something that a person might want to edit.

Everyone was able to edit any page in Edit the Text, with the link htwins.net/edit, and the editors allowed users to add anything they wanted, like a paragraph or other things. This can be done by adding a string of up to 4059 characters after the "/edit" with another slash, like htwins.net/edit/test, to go to the page test, and they could have edited from there. (This already has been stated in the basic /edit paragraph) It was removed when the website went back up in August 2018, after a few years of service, which had a lot of things going on in Edit the Text in it's timeline.

Edit the Text was later recreated by Tikolu, a former user of Edit the Text, and is available to use on https://tikolu.net/edit. The site can be made to look exactly like the original by enabling "HTwins.net style" in the settings.
