| |
| Sample Content |
| ============== |
| |
| Hint: See the xml source to see how the various elements are used and |
| see the DTD reference documentation [Link: |
| ../docs_0_80/../dtdx/dtd-docs.html]. |
| |
| Block and inline elements |
| ------------------------- |
| |
| This is a simple paragraph. Most documents contain a fair amount of |
| paragraphs. Paragraphs are called <p>. |
| |
| |
| With the <p xml:space="preserve"> attribute, you can declare |
| that whitespace should be preserved, without implying it is in any other |
| way special. |
| |
| |
| This next paragraph has a class attribute of 'quote'. CSS can be |
| used to present this <p class='quote'> in a different style than |
| the other paragraphs. The handling of this quoted paragraph is |
| defined in the <extra-css> element in the skinconf.xml. |
| |
| Anyway, like I was sayin', shrimp is the fruit of the sea. You can |
| barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, sautee it. Dey's uh, |
| shrimp-kabobs, shrimp creole, shrimp gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, |
| stir-fried. There's pineapple shrimp, lemon shrimp, coconut shrimp, |
| pepper shrimp, shrimp soup, shrimp stew, shrimp salad, shrimp and |
| potatoes, shrimp burger, shrimp sandwich. That- that's about it. |
| |
| A number of in-line elements are available in the DTD, we will show |
| them inside an unordered list (<ul>): |
| |
| * Here is a simple list item (<li>). |
| * Have you seen the use of the <code> element in the previous item? |
| * Also, we have <sub> and <sup> elements to show content aboveor belowthe |
| text baseline. |
| * There is a facility to emphasize certain words using the <em> <strong> |
| elements. |
| * We can use [Icon: feather]<icon>s too. |
| * Another possibility is the <img> element: [Image: another feather], |
| which offers the ability to refer to an image map. |
| * We have elements for hyperlinking: |
| :: <a href="../index.html"> |
| Use this to link [Link: ../index.html] to another document. As per |
| normal, this will open the new document in the same browser window. |
| |
| :: <a href="#section"> |
| Use this to link [Link: #section] to the named anchor in the current |
| document. |
| |
| :: <a href="../index.html#status"> |
| Use this to link [Link: ../index.html#status] to another document and |
| go to the named anchor. This will open the new document in the same |
| browser window. |
| |
| :: Targetted window control with jump and fork. |
| See demonstration using class attribute on links [Link: #link-class]. |
| |
| * Oh, by the way, a definition list <dl> was used inside the previous list item. We could put another |
| * unordered list |
| * inside the list item |
| A sample nested table |
| +---------------------------------+---------------------------------+ |
| | Or even tables.. | +-----------------------------+ | |
| | | | inside tables.. | | |
| | | +-----------------------------+ | |
| +---------------------------------+---------------------------------+ |
| | or inside lists, but I believe | | |
| | this liberty gets quickly | | |
| | quite hairy as you see. | | |
| +---------------------------------+---------------------------------+ |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| So far for the in-line elements, let's look at some paragraph-level |
| elements. |
| |
| ** Fixme (SN) ** |
| The <fixme> element is used for stuff which still needs work. Mind |
| the author attribute! |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| |
| ** Note ** |
| Use the <note> element to draw attention to something, e.g. ...The |
| <code> element is used when the author can't express himself |
| clearly using normal sentences ;-) |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| |
| ** Warning ** |
| Sleep deprivation can be the result of being involved in an open |
| source project. (a.k.a. the <warning> element). |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| |
| ** Important ** |
| If you want your own labels for notes and warnings, specify them |
| using the label attribute. |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| |
| Apart from unordered lists, we have ordered lists too, of course. |
| |
| 1. Item 1 |
| 2. Item 2 |
| 3. This should be 3 if my math is still OK. |
| |
| Various presentation formats |
| ---------------------------- |
| |
| This sample document, written in document-v20 XML can be presented |
| via Forrest in a number of different formats. The links in the |
| following list show this document in each of the currently |
| available formats. |
| |
| Each of the formats can be made available as a link near the top of |
| the page. Actual placement of those links depends on the skin |
| currently in use. Those links are enabled in the skinconf.xml via |
| the <disable-XXX-link> elements in the skinconf.xml |

| |
| |
| Using sections |
| -------------- |
| |
| You can use sections to put some structure in your document. |
| |
| Sections, the sequel |
| -------------------- |
| |
| Just some second section. |
| |
| Section 2.1 |
| .-.-.-.-.-. |
| |
| Which contains a subsection (2.1). |
| |
| Showing preformatted source code |
| -------------------------------- |
| |
| Enough about these sections. Let's have a look at more interesting |
| elements, <source> for instance: |
| |
| // This example is from the book _Java in a Nutshell_ by David Flanagan. |
| // Written by David Flanagan. Copyright (c) 1996 O'Reilly & Associates. |
| // You may study, use, modify, and distribute this example for any purpose. |
| // This example is provided WITHOUT WARRANTY either expressed or implied. |
| |
| import java.applet.*; // Don't forget these import statements! |
| import java.awt.*; |
| |
| public class FirstApplet extends Applet { |
| // This method displays the applet. |
| // The Graphics class is how you do all drawing in Java. |
| public void paint(Graphics g) { |
| g.drawString("Hello World", 25, 50); |
| } |
| } |
| |
| |
| CDATA sections are used within <source> elements so that you can |
| write pointy brackets without needing to escape them with messy |
| < entities ... |
| |
| |
| <pointy> |
| easy |
| </pointy> |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| Please take care to still use a sensible line-length within your |
| source elements. |
| |
| Using tables |
| ------------ |
| |
| And now for a table: |
| Table caption |
| +--------------------+--------------------+--------------------+ |
| | heading cell 1 | heading cell 2 | heading cell 3 | |
| +--------------------+--------------------+--------------------+ |
| | data cell | this data cell | | |
| | | spans two columns | | |
| +--------------------+--------------------+--------------------+ |
| | Tables can be | +----------+------ | * and can include | |
| | nested: | ----+ | most other | |
| | | | column 1 | colum | elements | |
| | | n 2 | | * such as lists | |
| | | +----------+------ | | |
| | | ----+ | | |
| | | | cell A | cell | | |
| | | B | | | |
| | | +----------+------ | | |
| | | ----+ | | |
| +--------------------+--------------------+--------------------+ |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| Using figures |
| ------------- |
| |
| And a <figure> to end all of this. Note that this can also be |
| implemented with an <img> element. |
| [Figure: The fine Forrest logo] |
| Using class attribute on links |
| ------------------------------ |
| |
| The document-v13 had elements <fork> and <jump>. In document-v20, |
| those elements no longer exist but the functionality can be |
| duplicated by using the @class attribute. Even though the opening |
| of separate windows should be under the control of the user, these |
| techniques can still be employed. |
| |
| +--------------------------------+--------------------------------+ |
| | Document V1.3 | Document V2.0 | |
| +--------------------------------+--------------------------------+ |
| | <fork href="../index.html"> | <a class="fork" href="../index | |
| | | .html"> [Link: ../index.html] | |
| +--------------------------------+--------------------------------+ |
| | <jump href="../index.html"> | <a class="jump" | |
| | | href="../index.html"> [Link: | |
| | | ../index.html] | |
| +--------------------------------+--------------------------------+ |

| DTD changes |
| =========== |
| |
| See the generated DTD reference documentation [Link: |
| ../docs_0_80/../dtdx/dtd-docs.html]. |
| |
| Changes between document-v13 and document-v20 |
| --------------------------------------------- |
| |
| * Renamed <link> to <a> |
| * Removed <fork> and <jump> in favour of the <a> element. See |
| demonstration using class attribute on links [Link: #link-class]. |
| |
| Changes between document-v12 and document-v13 |
| --------------------------------------------- |
| |
| All v1.2 docs will work fine as v1.3 DTD. The main change is the |
| addition of a @class attribute to every element, which enables the |
| "extra-css" section in the skinconf to be put to good use. |
| |
| Changes between document-v11 and document-v12 |
| --------------------------------------------- |
| |
| doc-v12 enhances doc-v11 by relaxing various restrictions that were |
| found to be unnecessary. |
| |
| * Links ((link|jump|fork) and inline elements (br|img|icon|acronym) are |
| allowed inside title. |
| * Paragraphs (p|source|note|warning|fixme), table and figure|anchor are |
| allowed inside li. |
| * Paragraphs (p|source|note|warning|fixme), lists (ol|ul|dl), table, |
| figure|anchor are allowed inside definition lists (dd) and tables (td |
| and dh). |
| * Inline content |
| (strong|em|code|sub|sup|br|img|icon|acronym|link|jump|fork) is allowed |
| in strong and em. |
