Thanks Stephan, but FWIW I was talking about the layout of the finished page, not during editing. Thanks for the links.

Semantic Forms will always include the structured data at the top and the free text at the bottom of the page. So if your preferred spot for the semantic stuff is at the top, you'll be alright. If you want it to be anywhere else, it becomes difficult. And of course, if an editor edits the page contents using the normal edit form (i.e. bypasses the Semantic Form) they can do whatever they want, including moving the semantic stuff somewhere else. Then again it is possible to hide the link to the normal edit page, so it is not as easy to get at the normal edit form. Some links: * A scratchpad, where you can play with SMW, SF etc.: http://scratchpad.referata.com/ * A mailing list dedicated to SMW and related extensions: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/semediawiki-user There is also a dedicated IRC channel available on freenode: #semantic-mediawiki Cheers, Stephan On 27 November 2012 18:38, Al Johnson <[email protected]> wrote: > I'm thinking about using SMW with MW.
