The Flexible publishing training manual is held on the Flexible publishing web site
Please
note: Select "Web folders environment for web publishing"
Link
to files in folder
You can include
separate files, such as handouts or lecture notes. To do this:
- first
place the file in the Flexible Publishing folder for the subject on
your "P" drive,
- highlight
the title of the file
- link the
file by clicking on the folder icon next to the Link bar
- click
"Browse", find the file and press OK.
The reason
for placing the files into the folder is that you upload the whole Flexible
Publishing folder through the normal Flexible publishing procedures.
For example
here is a link to the Flexible publishing
flier
Link
to web address
You can make
links to web addresses simply by:
- copying
the web address from the web browser Address bar
- highlight
the text you want to link to such as the title of the page and
- paste
the web address into the Link box
For example
an example of a web address is Robert Parkes Flexible Publishing page
in the subject ESC303.
The real advantage of this page is that it is possible to choose layout
options as well as annotate the link. Robert explains the rationale
for this option in the Guide to flexible publishing.
Layout
options
The table
forms the basis of the layout options for web pages (well in newer and
more advanced web editors you do not have to use tables but we won't worry
about that here).
To create
a table:
1. Click
on "Insert" in the top menu bar and select table
2. This
will bring up the "Insert table" dialogue box in which you
get to choose
- Row
and columns - that is the numbers
- Width
- you can choose pixels but choose percentage as the pixel measurement
is fixed and will disappear off the screen on small screens while
percentage adjusts to the screen size.
- Border
- if you want borders click on 1, that is a thin line with the Cell
spacing set on zero. However if you are using the table for layout
it would be best to use zero as Robert Parkes has done on ESC303.
- Cell
padding is the space between the cell line and the text. If using
lines do set the cell padding to at least 5.
- Cell
spacing is the space between the cells. This helps give the picture
frame effect on tables when you include your photo into the page.
3. Choose
the settings you want and click OK.
