\textbf{Syllabus} adds a syllabus to your course. By default this will be a traditional syllabus 
template page, which can be filled out with standard syllabus information. 
To create a syllabus using the syllabus template, do the following:

\begin{enumerate}

\item Select \textbf{Course Editor} on the Inline Menu or 
\includegraphics[width=0.03\paperwidth]{docs}
\textbf{Edit course contents} within the Main Menu
\item At the \textbf{Course Editor} screen within the 
\textbf{Main Content Editor} tab, 
click \fbox{Other}
on the menu bar above the course contents.
Next click on 
\includegraphics[width=0.03\paperwidth]{syllabus}
\textbf{Syllabus} 
to insert a syllabus template.

\item Click the \fbox{re-initializing course} button to make changes active for the current session. 

NOTE: The file will appear in the main course document list, where the user
can move, rename, or remove it. If the user does not click \fbox{re-initialize
course} the changes will become active the next time the user logs in.  When
you first add a syllabus to a course using the Course Editor you will need to 
click that button in order to be able to edit it.

\item Click the \underbar{Edit} link in the \textbf{Actions} column.
\item By default the standard syllabus template is selected.  Check checkboxes
for any items in the `Choose template items ...' box which you wish to edit. For one
checked a box containing a text area for editing will be displayed. 
 
For more information about using LON-CAPA's templated
text entry system, please see the Editing Template Files section
(\ref{Docs_Editing_Templated_Pages}). 
\item Click the \textbf{Save} button to save your changes.

\end{enumerate}

NOTE 1: To see the student view, click the \textbf{Exit Editing} 
link in the Functions menu just below the top of the screen.

NOTE 2: If your syllabus is already anywhere on the web (in or outside of
LON-CAPA), you can either:

\begin{itemize}
\item replace use of the standard templated syllabus with
the syllabus available from there, by selecting `External URL' as the Syllabus Type,
and enter the URL in the External URL textbox, then press \fbox{Save}, or
\item Specify the URL for inclusion in the bottom field of the Standard syllabus template.
\end{itemize}
