-\label{Docs_Creating_From_Template}Several templates are available for you
-to fill out and add to your course.
+\label{Docs_Creating_From_Template}
-To add a templated document to your course, click on the button for the templated
-page you wish to add: \textbf{Syllabus}, \textbf{Simple Page}, \textbf{Bulletin
-Board}, or \textbf{My Personal Info}. \textbf{Simple Page} and \textbf{Bulletin
-Board} will pop up a window asking you to give them a title. Once you've
-titled the page, if necessary, the page will be added to the end of the current
-Course Documents folder.
+Several templates are available for you
+to fill out and add to your course.
+To add a templated document to your course, click on
+\textbf{Special Documents} Inline Menu of the \textbf{Course Editor} screen.
+Items include
\begin{itemize}
-\item \textbf{Syllabus}\index{Syllabus} adds a traditional syllabus
-page, which can be filled out with various standard Syllabus information.
-\item \textbf{Simple Page} allows you to add a simple HTML page to the course,
-with an area for text, and an area to add web references. Give the page a
-\textbf{Title}, type plain text into the \textbf{Content} textbox, and add
-any links to other resources in the \textbf{Web References} section, where
-they will be turned into HTML links for the students.
-\item \textbf{Bulletin Board} allows you to add a dedicated Bulletin Board page
-to the course. By default in LON-CAPA, \emph{all} pages can host discussion,
-but you may wish to centralize the discussion, or provide a place for general
-course-related discussion.
-\item \textbf{My Personal Info} will add your personal information page, which
-is the same across all LON-CAPA courses you may be an instructor for. This
-is a place to provide a general introduction to yourself for your students,
-and a photo, if you like.

+\item\textbf{Blank Web Page}
\end{itemize}
-To edit the pages, click on the page's link in the Course Documents area,
-next to the blue arrows, \textbf{Remove} and \textbf{Rename} link. Each template
-behaves in much the same way: Several labeled fields are provided, with text
-boxes below them. Fill out the ones that apply to your course. Leave the
-rest blank, and they will not be displayed to students. When you are done,
-click one of the \textbf{Store} buttons to save your work.
-
-When you click \textbf{Store}, \emph{all} changes made to any textbox on
-the screen are saved. Thus, you need not click \textbf{Store} for every single
-textbox; the \textbf{Store} buttons are shown next to each box for your convenience
-only.
-
-To see how the page looks without the text boxes, click the \textbf{Public
-View} or \textbf{Show Student View} link near the top of the page. This will
-show you how the page looks to everyone else.
-
-The \textbf{My Personal Info} template and \textbf{Simple Page} templates
-will allow you to upload a photo from your harddrive. Either type the path
-on your harddrive to the photo you wish to upload, or click the \textbf{Browse...}
-button to select a file to upload. Click the \textbf{Upload} button to copy
-the photo from your hard drive to LON-CAPA.
-
-\textbf{Note}: The \textbf{My Personal Info} page is a special page in that it
-belongs to you, not the course. Everywhere you insert that page will have the same
-contents, and all changes made to one will propogate to all others. Bear
-that in mind as you fill it in; since it may appear for multiple courses you
-may not wish to add course-specific information.
-
-The new document will appear in the course next time you \textbf{Re-Initialize}
-the course on your \textbf{ROLES} screen, or login, whichever comes first.
-All of these document types are provided for your convenience; you are
-not required to use them. If for instance you prefered to create your
-own Syllabus\index{Syllabus}, you can create an HTML page and either
-upload it into the course like any other document (see
-\ref{Docs_Uploading_From_Harddrive}), or host it on another web server
-and add it as an External Resource (see \ref{Docs_Adding_External_Resource}).
