   23: \label{Upload Web Page}Special Notes on importing \textbf{Web Pages}\index{web page}: If you have already created a
   24: web page outside LON-CAPA you can upload the images when you first
   25: upload the web page, in one of two ways.  Either:
   26: 
   27: (a) upload the web page via: Course Editor -\textgreater Upload -\textgreater Upload
   28: File, and check the \textbf{Upload embedded images/multimedia files if HTML
   29: file} checkbox.  You will them be prompted to upload the image files (as
   30: dependencies)
   31: 
   32: or
   33: 
   34: (b) Create a zip (or tar) file archive containing the web page and the
   35: images (e.g., in a sub-folder).  Use:
   36: 
   37: Course Editor -\textgreater Upload -\textgreater Upload File
   38: 
   39: to upload the zip file.  LON-CAPA will prompt you to decide what should
   40: be done with the content.
   41: 
   42: In general, there is no need for image/multimedia files to be loaded into the
   43: course content hierarchy if the images are linked from a Web Page.  Instead, upload the
   44: web page(s) that contain the images, and then upload the images as
   45: dependencies.  One limitation of this method currently, is that if you
   46: use the same linked content in many places, those file cannot be shared and must
   47: be duplicated for each page. If you 
   48: upload a Web Page and forget to check to box to include embedded images/multimedia
   49: files, you can still upload the individually. See the section
   50: \ref{Docs_Web_Page} for more information about working with Web Page file dependencies.
   51: 
   52: NOTE: Your new file will be visible the next time you log in, or by
   53: \fbox{re-initializing course}.
