Customizing editing settings in Java

Draw Code 39 Extended in Java Customizing editing settings

The Editing options in the Edit Role Settings dialog box, shown in Figure 3-9, allow you to set what aspects of a page s underlying HTML code a role can edit It also allows you to specify how Contribute writes some basic HTML formatting code

Dreamweaver templates lock certain chunks of code so that people editing pages based on those templates cannot change certain aspects of the way the page is built This preserves the structure and look of the page (For details on creating Dreamweaver templates, see Book II, 7) If you re not using Dreamweaver templates but you still want to protect any specialized code (ColdFusion markup, for example) from being edited, make sure the Protect Scripts and Forms check box in the General Editing Restrictions section is selected (The Allow Unrestricted Editing option is selected by default; if you want to allow everything on the page to be edited except scripts and forms, the Allow Unrestricted Editing option must be selected before the Protect Scripts and Forms check box can be selected) If you want users in the selected role to be unable to insert images or edit them using Contribute s new inline image-editing capabilities, select the Prevent Users from Inserting Images check box If you want users in a role to be able to edit and format text only, select the Only Allow Text Editing and Formatting option

When you re writing text in a regular word-processing program (such as Microsoft Word) and you press the Enter key on your keyboard, your cursor goes to the next line, just as a carriage return works on a typewriter When you press Enter to go to a new line in a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) HTML editor like Dreamweaver, a blank line is inserted between the previous line you were on and the new line You can set up Contribute to

function either like a word processor or like Dreamweaver when a contributor presses the Enter key It s not just Contribute s behavior that changes when you change this setting, it s also the underlying HTML code that Contribute generates When you select the One Line option in the Paragraph Spacing section, Contribute generates an inline CSS style to create the line break When you select the Two Lines option, Contribute uses the standard HTML paragraph tag <P> to create the line break To set up Contribute to start a new line of text directly under the old one when a contributor presses the Enter key, select the One Line, As in Standard Word Processors (Uses Inline CSS Styles) option To set Contribute to start a new line of text two lines down from the old line, leaving a space in between, select the Two Lines, As in Web Page Editors (Uses Standard <P> Tags) option

In the Other Editing Options section of the Editing screen, the Use <STRONG> and <EM> in Place of <B> and <I> option is selected by default Leave it as is if you want Contribute to use the latest HTML tags for bold and italicized text Select the Allow Users to Insert Third-party Objects option if you want users in the selected role to be able to insert Google and PayPal extensions into pages (See Book V, 4 for a discussion of the extensions) Select the Allow Multiple Consecutive Spaces (Uses  ) option to enable contributors to create horizontal space in a page by inserting multiple spaces Select the Require ALT Text for Images option if you want Contribute to prompt contributors to include information that makes the page more accessible to visitors who are visually impaired To choose a line break type for the underlying code (not the text as it appears in a browser), select from the Line Break Type drop-down list In most cases, you may leave this at its default setting; if the people working directly on the HTML use a particular type of computer, you may wish to select the line break type accordingly CR stands for Carriage Return, and LF is short for Line Feed Contribute offers the following line break types: Windows (CR LF) Macintosh (CR) UNIX (LF)
