[Expo-tech] Logbook parsing?

This is all new to me. Looking at http://expo.survex.com/expedition/2018
some of the logbook entries are properly parsed, such as
http://expo.survex.com/logbookentry/2018-08-15/fgh-derig
and others make a mess of the HTML, such as
http://expo.survex.com/logbookentry/2018-08-08/top-camp-surface-prospecting-
old-new-caves-85-hour 

OK, so not a big deal. No doubt will get fixed in due course, either by
improving the parser or by editing the logbook.


But what really puzzles me is the link to edit in-situ the logbook entry in
the header:

Website home | You are logged in as expo sort your profile . | Log out Edit
logbook entry 2018-08-08: (Top Camp - Surface Prospecting - Old & New Caves
- 8.5 hours)
i.e. the link to http://expo.survex.com/admin/core/logbookentry/16/
which seems to be editing the database entry for the logbook. But won't any
edits here just get overwritten when the database is next regenerated from
the master logbook file? (Looks very powerful though.)

Should this functionality be retired?
