1.1     ! bowersj2    1: \label{Docs_Creating_From_Template}Several templates are available for you
        !             2: to fill out and add to your course.
        !             3: 
        !             4: To add a templated document to your course, click on the button for the templated
        !             5: page you wish to add: \textbf{Syllabus}, \textbf{Simple Page}, \textbf{Bulletin
        !             6: Board}, or \textbf{My Personal Info}. \textbf{Simple Page} and \textbf{Bulletin
        !             7: Board} will pop up a window asking you to give them a title. Once you've
        !             8: titled the page, if necessary, the page will be added to the end of the current
        !             9: Course Documents folder.
        !            10: 
        !            11: \begin{itemize}
        !            12: \item \textbf{Syllabus} adds a traditional syllabus page, which can be filled out
        !            13: with various standard Syllabus information.
        !            14: \item \textbf{Simple Page} allows you to add a simple HTML page to the course,
        !            15: with an area for text, and an area to add web references. Give the page a
        !            16: \textbf{Title}, type plain text into the \textbf{Content} textbox, and add
        !            17: any links to other resources in the \textbf{Web References} section, where
        !            18: they will be turned into HTML links for the students.
        !            19: \item \textbf{Bulletin Board} allows you to add a dedicated Bulletin Board page
        !            20: to the course. By default in LON-CAPA, \emph{all} pages can host discussion,
        !            21: but you may wish to centralize the discussion, or provide a place for general
        !            22: course-related discussion.
        !            23: \item \textbf{My Personal Info} will add your personal information page, which
        !            24: is the same across all LON-CAPA courses you may be an instructor for. This
        !            25: is a place to provide a general introduction to yourself for your students,
        !            26: and a photo, if you like.
        !            27: \end{itemize}
        !            28: To edit the pages, click on the page's link in the Course Documents area,
        !            29: next to the blue arrows, \textbf{Remove} and \textbf{Rename} link. Each template
        !            30: behaves in much the same way: Several labeled fields are provided, with text
        !            31: boxes below them. Fill out the ones that apply to your course. Leave the
        !            32: rest blank, and they will not be displayed to students. When you are done,
        !            33: click one of the \textbf{Store} buttons to save your work.
        !            34: 
        !            35: When you click \textbf{Store}, \emph{all} changes made to any textbox on
        !            36: the screen are saved. Thus, you need not click \textbf{Store} for every single
        !            37: textbox; the \textbf{Store} buttons are shown next to each box for your convenience
        !            38: only.
        !            39: 
        !            40: To see how the page looks without the text boxes, click the \textbf{Public
        !            41: View} or \textbf{Show Student View} link near the top of the page. This will
        !            42: show you how the page looks to everyone else.
        !            43: 
        !            44: The \textbf{My Personal Info} template and \textbf{Simple Page} templates
        !            45: will allow you to upload a photo from your harddrive. Either type the path
        !            46: on your harddrive to the photo you wish to upload, or click the \textbf{Browse...}
        !            47: button to select a file to upload. Click the \textbf{Upload} button to copy
        !            48: the photo from your hard drive to LON-CAPA.
        !            49: 
        !            50: The new document will appear in the course next time you \textbf{Re-Initialize}
        !            51: the course on your \textbf{ROLES} screen, or login, whichever comes first.
