I like to set an entry to private then tell it to post on a comm that's using the s1 style system. That way, it won't accidentally post (no private entries on comms) and I can see it live with the preview function outside a journal layout and still get the auto save of the draft just in case.
That said, your code tester is awesome and works very well on Puffin and Dolphin HD via a Nook Tablet. Gotta admit: the main reason I never gave draac a try was the cluttered layout.
