ANALISIS DE LA SITUACIÓN

The Text editor (PING PONG's WYSIWYG text editor) is a tool which appears in different parts of the system where you compose or paste text. It enables you to format your text and add images and other media, create tables and add links. The appearance and functionality of the text editor varies according to where you are in the system but basically consists of two parts - a main menu and toolbar.

Main menu

The main menu consists of six different submenus: Edit, Redigera, Infoga, View, Format, Table and Tools. These roll down when you click on them revealing icons and names of the different functions plus some keyboard shortcuts.

Edit

Undo and Redo: Undo or redo the most recent action.

Cut, Copy and Paste: These commands let you cut out, copy and move existing text and images.

Paste as text - use this mode to remove any formatting from text you wish to paste and paste it as plain text instead.. When plain text mode is on, a small tick is displayed to the left of this menu option.

Select all: Select all content.

Find and replace: Find a piece of text and choose if you want to replace it with something else (for example, replacing a particular word with another).

Insert

Insert/edit media: Use this function to embed videos and other active content from external sources, e.g. YouTube or Vimeo. You can paste the video's URL in the Source field or switch to the Embed tab and paste the embed code there. In edit mode, a placeholder is shown where the film is put on the page. To adjust the size of the video clip, click on the placeholder and drag it from the corners. You can view the video in preview and published modes

Insert/edit link: Create and edit links to external websites and resources by pasting the URL (web address) in the Link field. If you have not already selected text from the content, fill in Text to display which is what users will click to visit the link. In the dropdown list for Target you can choose how the link should be opened. By default, links open in a new window.

image in the Source field and then add a description and if you wish, change the display size of the image. Anchor (Bookmark): This lets you create a link to another part of the current page, which can be especially useful with longer pages that are divided up into several sections. Place the marker to the left of the text you want to link to (the actual bookmark) and select Anchor in the insert menu. Give the bookmark a name and then click Insert. Select the text you want to link from and click the Link icon . In the Bookmark dropdown list you select the name of the anchor you want to link to and then choose Current frame in

the Target dropdown list and finally click Ok. Note! Links to anchors do not currently work in Firefox. If you want to link to a bookmark on another page, create an internal link to the page in question, then select the link and click the Link icon. In the URL field add the "#anchors name" after the link to the page,

e.g."pplink://content/11575448#Ankare". Click Update. Avoid hyphens and non-Latin characters in the bookmark name.

Special character: Click here to insert various special characters and symbols. Horizontal line: Insert a horizontal line across the page

Insert image from resource bank: Insert an image by uploading a file from a computer/network or using one that has previously been uploaded to PING PONG. Note! PING PONG automatically rotates and resizes images that are too big and/or on the wrong scale.

Insert video from resource bank: Insert a video file by uploading a file from a computer/network or using one that has previously been uploaded to PING PONG. You can learn more about videos on this page: Files. Insert audio from resource bank: Insert an audio file by uploading a file from a computer/network or using one that has previously been uploaded to PING PONG. You can learn more about audio files on this

page: Files.

Insert/edit internal link: Select a text or image to make it link to another location in PING PONG. You can link to a different page, to the event's Documents page or to one of the communication functions such as the Message board.

Insert/edit link to attached file: Insert a file directly on the page by uploading one from your

computer/network or using a file previously uploaded to PING PONG to the event's document archive or from another event.

View

Show blocks: Display the different paragraphs and formats used in the document, grouped together into blocks contained in dashed boxes. These boxes are only visible in editing mode and never on the published page.

Visual aids: Switching this on reveals hidden characters such as table lines and anchor symbols. These are only visible in editing mode and never on the published page.

Full screen: Open the editing tool in full screen mode.

This lets you choose different ways to format your text including bold, italics, underline, strikethrough, superscript and subscript. You can also select text and return it to plain text by using Clear formatting.

Table

Create a table by clicking Insert table and choosing dimensions. When the cursor/pointer is in a table, the Table properties option is activated. Clicking this option lets you change the table size, distance between cells and distance between cell boundaries and their contents. You can also specify table boundary properties, whether the top row shall work as title fields and the table's placement on the page. You can also make changes that apply at cell, row and column level. To delete a table click on a cell and select Delete table. You can also find shortcuts to many of the table functions by right clicking the editing window.

Tools

Source: View and edit the page's HTML code. This allows users with knowledge of HTML to further customise the appearance and functionality of pages beyond what is possible using the standard functions. Spelling: Click this button to see all words that PING PONG detects as spelled incorrectly. Click one word at a time to get suggestions for correcting each word's spelling.

Toolbar

The toolbar contains a selection of the most commonly used editing functions. If you hover your mouse pointer over a button, you can see a description of that function.
