-\label{Creating New Content Pages}
-\textbf{Content Pages} are HTML documents that display the course information
-you are presenting.
+\index{HTML page}Many users use stand-alone editing programs such as Dreamweaver to create
+HTML files. To upload HTML
+files generated with such tools, you can use the \textbf{Browse...} button in
+the Authoring Space, locate your HTML file, and use the \textbf{Upload
+File} button to upload a HTML file in LON-CAPA. Remember to upload any local
+graphics your generated web pages may have referenced using similar procedures. The links to graphics in your html page must match the relative locations for the uploaded files.
+
+To create a new html page using the Inline Menus, browse to the desired folder using the folder navigation links
+in the lower part of the authoring screen. Then select 'HTML file' from the new content dropdown menu on the
+right of the authoring space page as shown in the dropdown menu of the figure \ref{New Content Menu}.
+
+When you edit a web page, you will be presented with a plain text editor as shown in the
+figure \ref{Plain Text HTML Editor}. Clicking
+the link for the Rich Formatting displays the HTML WYSIWYG editor with buttons to help you create html entities
+with correct tags as shown in the figure \ref{Rich Text HTML Editor}. If the rich layout is not as you expect, look
+for the button to view/edit the source, and then manually make adjustments to the html tags. Note that buttons are
+available to select graphics to include in the HTML file. Buttons are also provided to create/edit links.
+
+To create equations, you can use the 'Edit Math' button in the plain text editor, or you can type LaTeX equations
+directly in the \texttt{} tags in the plain text editor. The 'Edit Math' button launches a pop-up window
+containing the DragMath equation editor (Java plugin supprt in user's
+browser required). The pop-up includes a ``Render LaTeX'' button which
+can be clicked to insert the math expression composed in Drag Math as
+LaTeX within $<$m$>$\$ \$$<$/m$>$ in the file editor in the original window.
-Many users use tools such as Dreamweaver to create web pages. To upload HTML
-files generated with such tools, you can use the \textbf{Browse} button in

-
-\begin{enumerate}
-\item Click the \textbf{CSTR} button on the LON-CAPA remote. Your web page will
-change to your Construction Space.
-\item In the Location bar of your browser, type in the full URL of the new Content
-Page. Make sure the last part of the URL ends with {}``.html'', for example,
+Note that convenient help links for \textbf{Greek Symbols, Other Symbols, and Output Tags}\index{Greek symbols}\index{symbols, html}\index{output tags} immediately above the editor in the figures. Also note the link to check spelling below the editor.\index{spelling checker}
+
+The URL of the page in the root of your space would look something like
\\
-\emph{http://s10.lite.msu.edu/priv/username/new\_resource.html} .\\
-Press the Return or Enter key.
-\item Type the content into the editor, \emph{OR} copy and paste HTML source code
-obtained through the use of some other HTML authoring program into the editor.
-\item Optionally, click the \textbf{View} button to preview your Content Page.
-\item Finally, click the \textbf{Save this} button \emph{OR} click the \textbf{Save
-and then attempt to clean HTML} button.
-\end{enumerate}

-If you're following this as a tutorial, create at least one content page,
-which we'll use later as raw material. Visit the FAQ at \texttt{http://help.lon-capa.org/} if you get {}``unmatched
-tag'' warnings.
