VWcms provides additional composition tools (amongst others) below the edit area:
- [Here^] and the associated selection dialog allows a link to another section of the site to be inserted simply.
- [Image^] and its selection dialog (showing image files and other resources) allows an image to be displayed in the text.
- [[Img]^] displays the image surrounded by a dashed border (as above). This can help delineate a diagram.
- [Link^] provides a clickable link to that resource. In this way large images or non-graphical resources, etc. (e.g. ZIP archives) can be accessed from the text. These resource are uploaded to the site from the [Resources] facility.
- [Time^] inserts the (semi-) current time into the text (actually a site time, set the last time the page was loaded).
All of the above insert at the current edit cursor.
- [Draft], [Discard] and [Publish] have already been covered in Editing Content.
Managing Sections
VWcms sites are divided into sections according to HTML headings. An <H1> is a top-level section, <H2> second-level, <H3> third level. Each of these can be part of a displayed table-of-content (the navigation menu to the left of this page). <H4> generates an in-line heading separating parts of a single section.
- [H1], [H2] and [H3] insert the heading specified in the associated text field immediately following the current section. It then opens this empty section in the editor. Care must be exercised in where exactly the headings of various levels are inserted. The order determines site organisation and which section are superior or subordinate to others.
- [H4^] directly inserts the supplied heading at the current edit cursor.
- [Rename] modifies the current section name to that supplied in the associated field. This modifies all internal references but of course any references in external documents will require adjustment.
- [Remove] removes (deletes) the section completely. Caution!
Site design and the associated section management requires some careful thought, managment and maintanance. It is not a straight-forward exercise to move or rename sections.
Remaining Tools
The remaing tools shown towards the bottom of the above image are discussed in Managing Content.
