Hi Diego,

Hello Jean / all,
I wrote down a list of tasks people might want to accomplish with
Writer/Web. You can find it below.
There are two points I am still working on: CSS and XML. I have to admit I
only have a very superficial understanding of the first, and as good as no
idea about the second (pretty bad for an aspiring tech writer, since most
standards are XML-based).
However, Kompozer shows a CSS editor in the main bar, so I was surprised I
did not find a similar tool in Writer/Web. Probably I have not looked hard
enough. Does anybody know more about CSS in Writer?
OOo writes the CSS rules into a style element in the header. It cannot
use CSS, which is written in a separate file and inserted via the link
element.
And about XML, there is an "XML filter settings..." in the Tool menu -
however I did not quite manage to understand what it is supposed to do. If
someone could shed some light on this, I would really appreciate. Otherwise,
I am just going to keep on looking.
The XML filter is used for the XHTML export. The export with this filter
is the recommend way to produce XHTML text, because it produces valid
XHTML in contrast to the Writer/Web. The part UI "XML filter
settings..." is for managing and testing such XSLT based filters.
I have also put together a sketch for the guide structure - more on that in
the next email:
So, here is the task list:
Opening Writer/Web
Inserting and formatting text
Mention the connection how self-defined styles are handled and mention
connection between the CLASS concept of CSS and the style concept of OOo.
Inserting text hyperlinks
Inserting images
Explain, how to get relative addresses.
Explain, how to get the text into the alt-attribute.
Mapping images with hyperlinks
Mention the Image Map.
Previewing in browser
Navigating the UI (navigator, bars, menus)
Spellcheck
Inserting tables
Using frames
In HTML there are "Frames" and "Floating Frames".
Explain the different anchor types, which results in different HTML code.
Saving in different formats, exporting to PDF
Adding controls and using the Form design
Importing database tables, linking database contents to controls
Working on the HTML source
Opening an existing web page and changing to HTML source view will
destroy the original HTML of the web page immediately. A fat warning
about that is needed.
Using the Web Page Wizard
I miss information about the meta data and the title element. The
information in the document properties are automatically used for that
elements.
I miss the information how to open an existing web page, if it is a
local file, and more important, if it is a file with http:// access.
Please feel free to comment, feedback is very well appreciated.
Each page should have a remainder, "Never use it for serious work! The
component is not maintained any more."
Kind regards
Regina
