Having begun to work through the quickstart tutorial - I was no confused
by the terms nor the relationship. I was caught out by the rendering of
code examples (cut off on the right hand side).
I assume that the downloadable pdf does the right thing, if not please
add a jira issue
Hm, it could be the iframe around the docs on the magnolia site. The horizontal scrollbar you have to use to see right side of the doc is a bit far down the page...
What is
confusing is moving stuff between Author and Public and having to rely
on an external text editor to create the .jsp
well, I disagree. For one thing, there are excellent editors out there
for creating JSP's, for another its quite straightforward to write some
kind of meta template that uses very generic, highly parameterized jsp
code that can be configured through adminCentral or directly (lets say
you have a template that takes its settings from the top level page; you
define there a css, maybe a banner etc...)
I have to second that. I had my share of CMSses where you had to use some crude
integrated editor to write your templates. Be it HTML Textareas (ZOPE, Typo3),
Notepad as an active-x control (OpenCMS) or half baked Java Text Editors
(StoryServer).
Being able to use a real IDE (Eclipse) with a well known and documented
templating language (JSP) and decent version control (SVN) together with a
defined deployment mechanism (WAR files) are pretty hard to beat.
Just my 2 (euro)cents
