Getting Started

First things first. Like all effective Windows programs, <Live Markup> has a quick access toolbar that makes HTML element insertion an absolute breeze. This toolbar is just like one shown below.

 Position your mouse pointer over any one of these buttons below and click once for a brief description of its function and use.

Creating New Documents.

You have a couple of ways to start a brand new HTML document in <Live Markup>.

Choose "File", and then from that menu, choose "New".

Click on the New Document button on the toolbar.

This now opens up a new document window with the default grey background. To change the background color, choose Options|Colors|Background, and then specify the color you want using the clickable palette. It's as simple as that!

Remember to click on the Document Information button, and set your title and other document attributes!

Adding Text, Graphics, and other Elements.

Adding HTML elements has never been easier. Just click on the appropriate element button on the toolbar (see above) and you'll at once see a rectangular or square (depending on which element you choose) element tag on the far left hand side of the document window. For example, if you clicked on the Header button, you should see a narrow Element Selector appear:

This element selector button has 2 main functions: Clicking on it with your left mouse button makes it the active element for editing. Clicking on it with your RIGHT mouse button pops up a menu that allows selection of different attributes, and settings for that particular element's contents.

Some things to remember about Selectors.

The selector increases in size, as the active element uses more lines.

DO NOT COPY a whole document of plain text in only ONE SELECTOR. However, you may copy paragraphs of text in induvidual (seperate) text selectors.

Deleting a particular element is also done by using the RIGHT mouse button on the selector, and then choosing 'Delete this element' from the pop-up menu displayed.

To edit a particular element, activate its selector by clicking on it with your left mouse button.

To insert an element between two exisiting elements, activate the selector just ABOVE the point of insertion, and then click on one of the element insertion button.

To insert an element at the very TOP of an exisiting document, click on the top left hand corner of the document, just above the very first element. Then, click on one of the elelment insertion buttons. This makes your new element the very first.

Adding unsupported Tag elements.

This version of <Live Markup> supports all of HTML 2.0. The registered version supports most of HTML 3.0. To learn more about that, read the registration document. However, HTML 3.0, and any other tag unsupported by  the current version of <Live Markup> can easily be implemented by using the 'Raw Text' element.

If you need to add HTML 3.0 tags or "comments" anywhere in the document, simply click on the "Raw Text" button in the toolbar a "Raw" element is inserted in the  document.

Type your new HTML 3.0 tags including text, or paste a whole section  of code including text, lists and image information from a different document in this single raw element. A possible example is previously created large nested list, or Table of Contents.

Deleting An Element.

Deleting a particular element is done by using the RIGHT mouse button on the selector, and then choosing 'Delete this element' from the pop-up menu displayed.

Saving Your Documents To Disk.

To save your document to disk, simply click on the save button on the toolbar, or use the File|Save option from your main menu.If this is a new file, you will be presented with the standard windows dialog box asking for a filename. Type it in, click on OK, and you're done!

Inserting Images into Documents.

One Image is allowed at the beginning of each element in this version of <Live
Markup>.

To place a Image in the new document,  click on the "insert new text block
button". Click on the element selector if it is not down indicating an active element.

Click on the Image button (represented by a smiley face - we haven't lost our sense of humor) in the toolbar. The image indicator is  now next to the "selector".

Double click with your left mouse button directly on the image -- the image
information window pops up.

If you don't know the image location  click on the  browse button. Change to display  "list files of type:" to either "gif", or "other files"  (all files). Jpeg is default.  Find your image.

Double click on the file you want, and the file and path to it is automatically loaded  into the "image Information" window. Change the file path if needed, depending on  where the image will be located on the server.

It's not cumpulsory, but strongly suggested to type an "alternative text" in the Image Information window. Its a good think to remember the (unlucky) people who have no graphical browsers, and use text only programs, such as Lynx.

Changing and Adding Attributes.

Make other changes as necessary in the Image Information box, such as alignment, and other attributes. You may bring the Image information box up by simply double clicking on the image.

You're done!

What is HTML.
H T M L

Actually, no. It stands for 'Hyper Text Markup Language' and is what Web Browsers use as instructions when displaying Web Pages. All it basically consists of  is normal text with 'tags' around selected portions that tell the browser to format it in a particular way. On the same plane, there are tags that do other kinds of formatting, such as insert pictures, or draw lines.

About Live Markup
What exactly is it?

<Live Markup> is a colt in a new breed of powerful, WYSIWYG HTML editors that now set the trend for Web Development, owing to their ease of use, and their dexterity.

An original concept from MediaTech Inc., <Live Markup> offers complete creative control of HTML documents, allowing you to create complicated and fascinating layouts at adrenalin pumping, full-throttled speed.

Purists will argue that 'What-You-See-Is-What-You-Get' (WYSIWYG) HTML editors are actually impossibilities, due to the difference in tag interpretation of browsers. They're right. But <Live Markup> comes as close as possible, modelling tag interpretation after the two most popular browsers available - Netscape and Mosaic.

<Live Markup> is in constant development, day after day as MediaTech's programmers refine the program and extricate bugs. Since this is a product in development, we ask for your input, if you find bugs, or have comments and suggestions.

Overview
A handy overview of web arcana.

We're quite confident <Live Markup> will be instinctive, and easy to use. However, we also realize you'll need a reference to doing things every now and then. And so, we have this handy reference to the main functions and element styles supported by <Live Markup>, for your convenience and benifit.

Just click on one of the functions you want help with for a description, and instructions for use. You can click on the toolbar below.

Index of Assistance Topics.

Creating New Documents

Editing Commands

Using The Find Button

Creating Headers

Creating Hard Rules

Working With Images

Working with Raw Text Elements

Working With Lists

Changing Backgrounds

Adding Hyper Links

Changing Font Sizes


Editing Functions
Editing Functions.

Like most windows applications, <Live Markup> uses the windows clipboard to maximum effect. Allowing you to paste in entire text documents, and other HTML documents, as well as the more conventional editing functions.

Cutting

Copying

Pasting

Before you can cut or copy, you need to highlight the source block first. This is done by moving your mouse pointer to the beginning of the block, depressing the button, and then (keeping the button depressed) dragging the mouse to the end of the block. You'll see all text that you pass becoming represented 'inversely'. Now, you may CUT this block by clicking on the pair of scissors, copy it (cut, but leave the original in its place), and once you've done either of these functions (or have previous contents from another application in your clipboard) you may move the cursor to the desired location, and PASTE the clipboard contents to the document by clicking on the paste button.

Remember NOT to paste entire text documents into ONE text element. Paste paragraphs into seperate text elements.


Starting a New HTML document.
Setting Up a New Document.

You have a couple of ways to start a brand new HTML document in <Live Markup>.

Choose "File", and then from that menu, choose "New".

Click on the New Document button on the toolbar.

Then Choose the kind of document you want...HTML, or Text.

This now opens up a new document window with the default grey background. To change the background color, choose Options|Colors|Background, and then specify the color you want using the clickable palette. It's as simple as that!

Remember to click on the Document Information button, and set your title and other document attributes!

The TITLE is what appears on the top bar of your window: For example, the title to this help window is '<Live Markup> Assistance'. Its a good and standard HTML practise to set this early on.


Opening and Saving Documents.
Opening An Existing Document.

You can open an existing HTML document by clicking on the open button, or the more conventional method of choosing File|Open. This brings up the standard windows dialog box of files and directories. Choose the file you want to open, and either double click on it, or click on it once and press the OK button.

Be aware that if you open a document NOT created in <Live Markup>, the program automatically formats all recognized tags in WYSIWYG format, and displays all unrecognized tags as raw text elements.

Saving a Document To Disk.

To save your document to disk, simply click on the save button on the toolbar, or use the File|Save option from your main menu.If this is a new file, you will be presented with the standard windows dialog box asking for a filename. Type it in, click on OK, and you're done!


Searching For Text
Finding Text.

To find specific text within a document, click on the find button, and enter the text pattern to be found. The cursor stops at the first occourance of the text it finds.

To find the next occourance, click on the search again button.


Headers
Placing Headers in your HTML documents.

To place a header in your document, simple click on the header button. The default is H1 (the biggest), but clicking on the element selector (see getting started if you don't know what this is) with your RIGHT mouse button will bring up a menu for you to choose your size, and attributes from.

Here is an example of what you see when you press your RIGHT mouse button.

Simply choose the header level you want, and you're done! Level 1 is the largest, and is usually good for major headings. H6 is extremely tiny, and strong emphasised. Level 5 is quite 'fine' and little.

If you need to insert an element BETWEEN two other elements, or at the top of the document, look at the section on element selectors in the 'getting started' topic.


Hard Rules
Adding Hard Rules To Your Document.

Click on this button to add a hard rule element to your document. To change its attributes, simply click on its element selector with your RIGHT mouse button. To insert it between to other elements, please see the section on 'elements selectors' in Getting Started.

Changing Attribtutes and Sizes.

If you click with your RIGHT mouse button on the Element Selector of the hard rule, you can now edit its attributes, including size in percentages or numbers, and shading. You may even type in other attributes in a text box.


Working With Lists
Working With Lists.

Important:

List elements have three element selectors next to each other; Selector 1 is the actual list selector. That is, unordered <UL>, ordered <OL> or definition list <DL>. You can check and change this by clicking on it with your RIGHT mouse button. Selector 2  represents the list item<LI>, term<DT>, definition<DD> selector (check or change with right mouse button). Finally, Selector 3 is the  text selector.

Headlines Inside Lists:

Headlines inside lists -- If you want to use headers in an unordered or ordered list, make sure you change Selector 2 from "list item <LI>" to " term <DT>", failing wihich you will find a bullet or number all by itself on one line (without text) and the headline on the next line -- on most browsers.

Beginning a List:

Click on the list button. Element selector 1 appears.

Click on the list item button in the toolbar. This brings up a second selector, and both are activated.

Click on the text block button. This insers a third selector. Go ahead and enter your text or image for the first list item.

To start the next list item, click on the selector 1. This activates the 'list item' button.

Click on the list item button in the toolbar. This brings up another list item selector and increases the list selector in size, which will eventually span the total lenght of the list.

Click on the text block button. This insers a third selector. Go ahead and enter your text or image for the second list item.

Continue till the end of the list.

To exit any list, or nested list click  on the selector 1, and then click on the text or hard rule button. This ends the current list.

Nested Lists.

Double click on the last text block selector on the right. (the image button is activated in the toolbar).

Click on the list button. A NEW element selector 1 appears.

Construct as before.

To acess any one list in a set of nested lists, click on that list's selector 1.


Undo Action
The Undo Button.

Click on this to reverse your last action.


Raw Text
Adding unsupported Tag elements.

This version of <Live Markup> supports all of HTML 2.0. The registered version supports most of HTML 3.0. To learn more about that, read the registration document. However, HTML 3.0, and any other tag unsupported by  the current version of <Live Markup> can easily be implemented by using the 'Raw Text' element.

If you need to add HTML 3.0 tags or "comments" anywhere in the document, simply click on the "Raw Text" button in the toolbar a "Raw" element is inserted in the  document.

Type your new HTML 3.0 tags including text, or paste a whole section  of code including text, lists and image information from a different document in this single raw element. A possible example is previously created large nested list, or Table of Contents.

Whenever you save the document with <Live Markup> it generates the  proper code for everything. Unrecognized tags (raw) are not stripped away but included in the "save". When you re-load the document again everything is sorted and placed in its proper element structure -- text, images, lists etc.

This version detects and shows instantly all  unrecognized HTML 2.0 tags. Ideal for version checking documents.


Help on Live Markup
<Live Markup> Help.

Displays Live Markup help.


Working With Text
Adding Text To Your Documents.

Just click on this to start a new text element. You must click on this, for example to also add an image. All normal text for the browser's proportional font is entered in this element.

Its a good thing to note that the text element is used when  you need to insert an inline image, and when you need to construct a list. Any _normal_ text goes with this element.

Centering Elements.

To center a text element, simply click on the element selector with your RIGHT mouse button, and choose 'center'.

Changing Font Sizes.

To change the font size of any text, on the toolbar, select the type size FIRST. Then, highlight what you wish to change. Click anywhere in the highlighted area with your RIGHT mouse button, and select FONT SIZE from the pop-up menu. The text changes to the specified size.

You may also click on any text to check what font size it is currently on. The display in the box changes to reflect this.


The Element Selector
The Element Selector.

Most editing, and attribute functions are accomplished with the element selector. It appears before all elements, and contains definitions of what each element might be attributed. A pop-up menu is activated by click on it with the RIGHT mouse button.


Creating Hyperlinks

Its easy to create hyperlinks with <Live Markup>. Just follow the following easy steps.

Highlight the actual text you want to create a link from. That is, the 'clickable text'.

Click anywhere on the highlighted text with your RIGHT mouse button.

From the pop-up menu select "create hyperlink". A window pops up in which the hyperlink information must be typed or copied into.

If you want the change the link or delete it, double click with your left mouse  button on the link. The link-window pops up again -- now change the link information  or delete the link completely.

You can also make a destination link by inserting the proper information in  the link-window under destination name. The color of the highlighted text for the destination changes to yellow.

You are now able to change the colors of the hyperlink, visited link and active link. To do so, choose Options|Colors|<a/v/h>Link, and then choose the color from the clickable palette.


Changing Background Colors
Changing Background Colors and Images.

There are two ways of changing backgrounds in <Live Markup>. One, is to simply change the background color )using the HTML  attribute bgcolor, or to change the background by specifying an image!

To change Background Colors.

To change background colors, simply choose Options|Colors|Background from the main menu, and choose the color you want from the clickable palette. Its as simple as that!

To Change Background Images.

You can now change background images extremely easily in <Live Markup> By following these steps:

Select Options|Background Images from the main menu.

Select your gif image to use as background.

The background image button toggles on. (The button on the extreme right, as show above).

The selected image is tiled in the background.

If you find certain ares without the background, double clicking on those 'problem spots' will fix it.

And that's it!
