Return to Sequence_Simple_Editor_Creation.tex CVS log

This commit implements the .tex-based online help system in LON-CAPA. It
may be necessary to manually run loncom/build/help_graphics_converter.pl
and doc/help/rebuildLabelHash.pl after a cvs update, and
loncapa_apache.conf may need to be manually copied to /etc. (The
loncapafiles.lpml has been updated.)

After merging this, the URL http://[loncapahost]/adm/help/Foils.hlp
should display a help file.

Also, some *very* out-of-date files have been removed from the /doc
directory.

    9: After creating a new .sequence resource and getting the editor selection
   10: prompt (as in the ``Simple Map Editor'' figure), click the \textbf{Simple
   11: Edit} button to get to the simple map editor, which appears in the figure. 
   12: 
   13: The Simple Editor can create .sequences and .pages which are linear, which
   14: means they have no branches or conditions.
   15: 
   16: On the right side of the simple editor is the \textbf{Target}, which represents
   17: the map you are currently building. On the left side is the \textbf{Import}
   18: area, which represents a work area you can use for your convenience to load
   19: and manipulate resource you may wish to include in your map. Using the three
   20: buttons in the middle of the screen, from top to bottom you can cut things
   21: out of the Target, copy from the Target to the Import, and copy from the
   22: Import to the Target, respectively.
   23: 
   24: On both sides of the screen, you can do a Group Search and a Group Import.
   25: A Group Search allows you to run a search, then import selected results from
   26: that search into either directly into your Map, or into your Import space.
   27: Checkboxes will appear next to the results in the Group Search, and you can
   28: click the resource you wish to add to your map in the order that you want
   29: them added. After you select the resource, you will be presented with a screen
   30: that allows you to change the order of the selected resources, then you will
   31: be able to import the selected resources and work with them.
   32: 
   33: A Group Import works in a similar fashion, but allows you to use the LON-CAPA
   34: network browser to select your resources.
   35: 
   36: On the Import side, you can also browse for another Map, and load the resources
   37: used in that map into your Import workspace. You can also discard the selected
   38: resources, clear all the resources, and view the selected resource from the
   39: buttons on the Import side of the screen. 
   40: 
   41: Both list boxes support standard multi-select mechanisms as used in your
   42: OS.
