VWcms provides a plain text editor in addition to the HTML editor.  The plain text editor is primarily used to compose and maintain the various other files used in compositing the site:

• site template
• print template
• style sheet
• configuration

Each may be accessed using the file selector alongside the [Edit-Plain] button.

Note the semi-colon delimited version number associated with each file.  More on this in Managing Content.

The adjacent [Delete] button does exactly what the label implies - Caution!

The preceding search-and-replacement function is also described in Managing Content.

The [Content] button returns the WYSIWYG content HTML editor.

Raw HTML Edit

The public content of the site (by default) is contained in the file _INDEX.HTML (note the leading underscore).

Similarly, the content of a draft is in file __INDEX.HTML (two underscores).

These are both available via the file selection dialog.

With a little experience and care significant structural changes can be made via this plain edit interface.  This is sometimes the easiest method for rearranging the sections of a site.  The plain-text editor offers (browser-dependent) cut, copy, paste and undo, and so can be used for most of such basic changes. Of course, it is always well advised to save a [Draft] and then work on the __INDEX.HTML file until satisfied.
