\textbf{Content Pages} are HTML documents that display the course information
you are presenting. 

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
the Authoring Space, locate your HTML file, and use the \textbf{Upload
File} button to create a content page in LON-CAPA. Remember to upload any
graphics your generated web pages may have included.

To create new Content Pages, do the following:

\begin{enumerate}
\item Click the \textbf{CSTR} button on the LON-CAPA remote. Your web page will
change to your Authoring 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,
\\
\emph{http://(your library server)/priv/domain/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}
Repeat this process as many times as necessary to create your Content Pages. 

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.
