About NouWeb

NouWeb is a Visual BASIC application, written with VB 3.0 Professional.

This Help File was constructed with ForeFront's ForeHelp Windows Help hypertext development environment.


Using NouWeb As A Text Editor

NouWeb works just the way you'd expect it to as a straight text editor. If you understand how to use Notepad, nothing about NouWeb will surprise you.

You should be aware, however, that NouWeb has some advantages and some limitations over NotePad and other Windows text editors.

Limitations:

1. Text files above 30K in size can't be edited (this is the result of a limitation in Visual BASIC)

2. Printing is somewhat primitive; you can select the default printer, but that's about it (this is due to laziness on my part)

Advantages:

1. NouWeb is a multiple document interface (MDI) application, which means you can have multiple text files open at the same time.

2. NouWeb understands the notion of a project. If you invoke NouWeb with a filename as its argument, NouWeb will open the file you specify, read filenames from it, and automatically open every file it finds in the file you specified that actually exists. You can even open the project file itself, and save it as part of the project. You can also use the Project Manager under the Tools menu to do this, and to create project files automatically.

3. NouWeb will let you insert files into open files (something I always wanted Notepad to do).


Using NouWeb As An HTML Editor

IWhen you use NouWeb as an HTML editor, it tries to help you create sane HTML.

If for example, you highlight a block of text, and then select HTML -> Typeface -> Bold, WedEdit will wrap the HTML coding around the highlighted text. This allows you to create the document using flat text (no HTML coding) and then go back and add the coding you want later.

NouWeb also helps you create correct URLs and image source declarations. For some people, the forms NouWeb steps you through will be annoying. This is a clear sign that you don't need NouWeb's help anymore.

NouWeb lets you maintain project make files that name a set of related HTML documents, one per line. If you pass the MAKE file name as the argument to NouWeb when it is executed, it will open all the files in the MAKE file automatically.

Finally, NouWeb supports a shared template model in which multiple NouWeb users share HTML templates and base their documents on those templates.


Use Template Button
This button inserts the contents of the selected template into the file you are currently working on.


Template Created Date
This field describes, for the selected template, the date the template was created or last modified.


Template Creator
This field supplies, for the highlighted template, the name of the template author.


Template Purpose Field
This field supplies, for the highlighted template, its purpose (as supplied by the template author).


Template Name Field
This field shows, for the highlighted template, its English name (as supplied by the templte author).


Template Files List
This box lists all template files in the specified template files area.


Clear Template Button
This button clears the currently-displayed information about the highlighted template.


The File Menu
The file menu options allow you to print, save, open and close files. The file menu also lists the last ten files you opened for quick access.


Configuring NouWeb

To change your configuration:

1.	Select Options --> Configure to get a menu-based configurator

Or

Select Options --> Edit Configuration File to edit the NOUWEB.INI file directly.

Unless you are thoroughly familiar with NOUWEB.INI, I recommend that you use the menu-based configurator.


Warnings
Warnings let you know when environmental conditions don't allow for NouWeb to operate properly. If you don't want to be warned in these circumstances, set this to NO.


Setting Up Project Files

To set up a project file:

1.	Open all the files that you want to include in your project in NouWeb.

2.	Select Tools --> Create Project.

3.	Answer the questions put to you.


Prompts
Prompts alert you to potentially ambiguous or incorrect events, applications and HTML uses. If you don't want to be prompted in these situations, this value should be set to NO.


Using Template Files

To use a template file:

1.	Click Tools (on the menu at the top of the NouWeb form)

2.	Click Select Template...

3.	Pick either Personal or Shared Templates.

4.	Select a template from the list on the left hand side of the Template Manager form.

Result: The remainder of the form is populated with information on the template you have selected.

5.	When you have found the template you want to use, click the Use Template button.

Result: The  contents of the selected template are loaded into the currently-active document..


Personal Template Directory
Your Personal Template Directory is the area of your local file system (typically the TEMPLATE subdirectory under the NOUWEB top-level directory) where you can store personal templates -- templates you do not want to share.


Host Data
NouWeb maintains a database of every host you reference while creating URLs and makes that information available to you. This variable is not configurable in the current release; do not tamper with this setting.


Template Directory


AutoSave Enabled
AutoSave Enabled is set to YES when you want your work to be saved automatically by NouWeb. The AutoSave process uses the AutoSave Interval value to decide how many seconds to wait between autosave operations. If you don't want your work saved automatically, set this value to NO.


[Shape]
This section captures the last set of coordinates, so that NouWeb sizes itself to your preferences each time it loads.


HTML Menu Options

The HTML menu options include:

File From DIsk	Insert a file from disk into the open document.

Standard HTML Document	Insert a standard HTML document framework into the open document.

Comments	Insert a freeform comment, a time and date stamp, or a revision marker into the document.

Document Head	Insert a title or ISINDEX tag into the open document.

Headings	Insert a Level 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 heading into the open document.

Body Elements	Insert preformatted text, a plain text marker, a paragraph or break tag, a horizontal rule and (if the dialect is set to NetScape) NetScape-specific body elements into the open document

Image	Insert an inline graphic into the document.

Lists	Insert a bulleted, numbered or definition list into the open document.

Anchor	Insert an anchor into the open document.

Hyperlink	Insert a local (intradocument) or remote hyperlink into the open document.

Styles	Insert bold, underlined, italicized or (if the dialect is set to NetScape) NetScape-specific style elements into the document.


HTML Docs Data
NouWeb maintains a database of every HTML document you reference while creating URLs in the URL Assistant, and makes this information available to you through the URL Assistant. This variable is not configurable in the current release; do not tamper with this setting.


Utility Bar Visible
Utility Bar Visible specifies whether the Utility Bar (at the top of the NouWeb form, containing commonly-used HTML tags) should be visible or not at startup.


ToolBar Visible
ToolBar Visible specifies whether or not the Toolbar, which contains buttons for commonly-used Helper applications, should be visible at startup.


Autosave
Autosave allows you to set NouWeb to save your work automatically at pre-set intervales, preventing the loss of work in the event of a dysfunction within NouWeb or Windows.


Debug
Debug is used by Ivory Tower Software to diagnose error conditions. Do not tamper with this setting.


Dialect
Dialect specifies the default Dialect (HTML 2.0 or NetScape) that should be set at Startup.


[Private Data]
Change only the TEMPLATE DIRECTORY specifications in this section. NouWeb will behave unreliably if other values are changed.


Product Name
NouWeb's full name. Do not change this information.


Help Menu Options

The Help Menu options include:

NouWeb Help	invokes the help file you are reading now.

About NouWeb	provides summary information about NouWeb

Licensing Information	allows you to view the NouWeb license

The HTML Assistant	invokes the HTML Assistant help file

The Elements of Hypertext Design	invokes the Elements of Hypertext Design help file.


Windows Menu Options

The Windows Menu includes the following options:

Tile Horizontally	tile all open windows in a horizontal order

Tile Vertically	tile all open windows in a vertical order

Iconify All	reduce all open windows to icons

Open All	open and cascase all iconified windows

Arrange Icons	arrange icons in the form.


Serial Number
The unique number of this instance of NouWeb (if you have paid your support fees); otherwise, the number 00000001.


Shared Template Directory
The Shared Template Directory is an area of a shared file system where you and other NouWeb users can share and retrieve templates used by the group.


Setting Up A Project Area

If you are going to write sigificant amounts of HTML - more than, say, a simple home page for yourself -- and you are not using a source code control system or other publishing system that provides some discipline to your work, there are a few things you can do to make your life as an HTML developer easier.

First of all, remember that you are going to be adding files and directories onto the Web directory structure of a server. This directory structure is used by many people and organizations; your work will be only a part of it. Your Web administrator will give you an attachment point in this directory structure, and your work will, for the most part, live "below" that attachment point in the directory structure.


Edit Menu Options

The Edit Menu includes the following options:

Cut	Cut the selected text to the clipboard.

Copy	Copy the selected text to the clipboard.

Paste	Paste text from the clipboard to the location in the file marked by the insertion caret.

Delete	Delete the selected text.

Undo Last Operation	Undo the last change to the text in the open file.

Find	Find a text string.

FInd Next	Find the next occurrence of the text string

Select All	Select all text in the current open window.

Time/Date	Insert the time and date at the location in the file marked by the insertion point.


Configuration Save And Exit
This button saves your changes to the current NouWeb configuration, makes sure that those changes are reflected in the NouWeb environment and then closes the configurator.


The NouWeb Interface

Although the interface is fairly simple, you may have questions about particular functions or areas of the interface.

Click on the area of the interface you need information on.

In general, NouWeb functions exactly like other Windows applications. There is virtually nothing you can do within the interface that will damage your system or your documents, and so you should feel safe experimenting with the application's features.


Configuration Cancel
This button cancels the configurator without making any changes to the NouWeb configuration.

Status_Bar
The status bar tells you (a) what HTML dialect you're using, (b) how long the file is, (c) whether it's saved or not and (d) what time it is.


Installation Date
The date on which NouWeb was last installed. This information is added automatically and should not be changed.


AutoSave Interval
AutoSave Interval specifies the number of seconds NouWeb should wait between Autosave operations. If the AutoSave Enabled variable is not set to yes, this value is ignored.


Version Number
The version number of the release of NouWeb you are using. Do not change this information as it will cause NouWeb to behave erratically and will make debugging more difficult.


Short Product Name
The short name for NouWeb, used by various internal functions and by Ivory Tower automated support software. Do not change this information.


Creating A Template File

To create a template file:

1.	Click Tools (on the menu at the top of the NouWeb form)

2.	Click Create Template...

3.	When prompted, enter an English language name for the template (e.g., Template for Personal Home Pages).

This information is used to make it easier for other users to understand the purpose of the template you are creating.

4.	When prompted, describe the purpose of the template you are creating.

This information is used to make it easier for other users to understand the purpose of the template you are creating.

Result: A blank template with some comment lines and a .WET extension is created.

4.	When prompted, save the template file. Make sure the file name you specify ends in .WET.

5.	When you have finished creating your template, save it. It will automatically be saved to the template directory specified in your NOUWEB.INI file.


Template Files
Template files allow you to reuse a collection of HTML directives over and over again in exactly the same form. Template files are useful for enforcing style, for providing novice users with a head start on their HTML coding, and for storing and cataloging innovative or useful instances of HTML programming. NouWeb comes with a set of standard templates that show how to use HTML+ forms tags to create various kinds of forms for forms-enabled browsers.


Project Files
Project files allow you to both keep hypertext nodes in separate files (which is a good programming practice) and to view and edit sets of HTML files that are related to one another at the same time. For people familiar with the UNIX programming environment, project files are similar in some ways to MAKE files.


File Buttons
The File Button allows you to select a file to use as the value for the option.

Creating A Shared Template Area

NouWeb understands the difference between personal templates (ones that are only usable by you) and shared templates, which are shared among multiple NouWeb users.

Typically, shared templates are stored in a directory on a file server to which all NouWeb users have access. Your system administrator or LAN administrator may need to help you create such a space, and have it appear as a local disk to your workstation.

Once that is done, you can specify the shared template directory by editing the Shared Template Directory= line in the NOUWEB.INI file.

Note: you cannot change this variable through the configuration menu.


Editing A Template File

To edit a template file:

1.	Open the file as you would a normal .TXT or .HTM file.

2.	Make whatever changes are necessary.

3.	Close the file, making sure you save it and that the file has a .WET extension.


The Edit Menu
The edit menu allows you to cut, copy, paste, select, find and insert date/time stamps.


The Options Menu
The Options menu lets you turns the utility bar and the toolbar on and off, and change the HTML dialect you are using.


The Insert Menu
The HTML menu provides you with:

the ability to insert a file from disk into a document you are working on.

insert and access HTML code insertion capabilities.

If you are using NouWeb as a straight text editor, you won't use the insert menu functions much.


The Tools Menu
The tools menu provides you with menu-based access to your Web browser, graphics editor, map editor, HTML publishing tool, and other important "helper" applications. These same applications are accessible via the Toolbar.

The Tools Menu also provides you with access to the Project Manager and Template Manager.


The Configuration Menu

The configuration menu lets you edit the NOUWEB.INI file and change the default font used in the text edit window.
