So it sounds like my beginning is pretty much in line with what others are saying. The general flow will go like this:
1) If you're not familiar with HTML, you can save a document and Writer will format for you, but you get "unclean" code. 2) If you are familiar with HTML, you can edit the HTML code yourself in Writer. 3) For serious Web work, use something like Nvu (which is what I use myself, when I'm not just using a text editor for small jobs). Of course, those break down into sections and subsections with instructions and gunk. My initial guess is 10-15 pages, but I tend to guess slightly short of what I end up with. I'm not planning to go into how you upload the finished document to the Web, other than to say check with your Web host for instructions. I also don't want to give a tutorial on HTML. If they still existed, I'd probably plug the three HTML books I edited for Waite Group Press, but, alas. That's OK, there are so many that I can confidently suggest that they find an HTML book, without plugging specific titles. >>> Jean Hollis Weber <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 08/26/06 1:31 AM >>> Scott Rhoades wrote: > It looks like my time is opening up a little, so I want to start working > on the Writer/Web chapter.

I have not had time to consider what should be in the chapter, other than that it should go beyond the obvious (whatever the obvious might be in this case). I have not used Writer/Web to create or edit Web pages, so I have no tips arising from experience. I assume you will do some searching through the user lists and forums and faqs to see what questions arise and make sure the chapter covers the answers. I must say that the tip I have most often heard on the users lists and forums is: if you seriously want to do web sites, use something else (like Nvu). I hope someone else reading this list can offer a more helpful answer than this one. -- Jean
