Hello, Codeforces.
I and DK318 joined the Codeforces team in June. These three months we mainly dealt with the development of the Polygon platform. In this post, we would like to present to you a list of what we have done during this time. Most of the changes were made to attain easier problem creation. This list does not include minor bug fixes or any improvements that are invisible to users.
Tables support when rendering statements in HTML
Now it's possible to insert the most basic tables in your HTML statements. For example, you can show the scoring system of your problem or insert several images side by side. Only column text alignment and border specification are supported now.
A brief manual for writing statements
We bet a lot of users who wrote statements were confused by the fact that a lot of TeX commands are not working when rendering in HTML. Now you can access the manual on the statements page to learn about supported commands with examples as well as other tips for writing better statements.
You can check out the manual here.
Reworked how one can add problems into a contest
We completely reworked the way you add problems on the contest page. You can select the problems from the list of accessible problems: they will be added to a separate list. You can also filter your problems so you can find the needed one much quicker. We performed some optimizations as well so even if you have thousands of accessible problems, this page will lag much less.
