7 Templates

7.1 What are templates?

Templates are basically pages having some content

(e.g. a letter head) which can be re-used to create other

pages which will have the same underlying page struc-

ture and, often, the same graphical layout.

Templates are not altered in use and can be used

over and over again. The simplest template is probably

a blank sheet which links to a stylesheet for use

throughout a site. More common is a page which has

a banner and perhaps a menu to appear on every

page. Last might be a complete page layout for use on

all, or many, pages of a site but which includes areas

for customising individually.

Templates may be considered as having two parts

- the fixed part or ‘boilerplate’ which remains the same

for every page and the ‘editable part’ which changes.

KompoZer recognises two types of editable part.

Block and flow. Block items are like any other html

block and may consist of paragraph-like items or divs

(which may contain several blocks). Blocks may be

made repeatable - so that several similar items may be

added if required.

Flow items will be contained within other block

items in line with the text, for instance to change one

or two words in a paragraph.

7.2 Create a new template

Templates are prepared

and edited using KompoZer

just like any other page.

To create a template

1 Click File > New then

select ‘A blank tem-

plate’ and ‘Create’.

Note All templates will be

created with the Transitional HTML Doctype.

2 Add any content which is to appear on all pages

based on the template.

3 Format this in the normal way.

4 If the formatting is to be based on a style sheet

prepare this in the normal way as detailed in

section 4.2.4.

Note For this to be successful the template

must first be saved.

5 Add the areas which are to be made editable.

Fill these in using dummy text so that a complete

page layout is achieved even though some of it may be

meaningless. Format this as required.

Note Useful dummy text can be found at

http://www.lipsum.com/.

Note There are other approaches to page layout

but the method described is simple and reliable.

The first figure shows a page prepared as described.

7.3 Saving templates

To save a template

1. Click File > Save or File > Save As.

The extension ‘mzt’ will be selected automatically.

7.4 Create a template from a page

A pre-existing document may be transformed into

a template

1. Click Format > Page Title and Properties

2. Check the box ‘This page is a template’.

3. Click OK.

4. Click File > Save as. The file type ‘HTML

Template’ will be completed.

5. Name and save the file as normal.

7.5 Setting up template details

The content of the page

– boilerplate and examples

of editable content – should

already be set up and for-

matted.

To make blocks editable

1 In turn, select each

block that you wish

to make editable.

2 In HTML tags view

select the block by clicking its tag.

3 On the status bar right-click the corresponding

highlighted tag.

4 Click Templates > Make editable.

5 In the ‘Insert an editable area’ window give the

block a recognisable name. Now check the op-

tions boxes if required.

Note The option ‘Area is optional’ allows it to be

deleted easily when the page is in use. ‘Area is

repeatable’ allows copies to be made rapidly.

‘Area is moveable’ turns the area into a movable

layer (see section 3.10).

Warning In KompoZer 0.7.10 this option is dis-

abled

6 Click OK.

To make a flow selection editable

1 In turn select (highlight) each section of text that

you wish to make editable.

2 Click Insert > Templates >Insert editable area.

3 In the ‘Insert an editable area’ window give the

block a recognisable name.

4 Leave checked the option ‘Flow of text’.

5 Check the options boxes if required as described

above.

Note The option ‘Area is moveable’ is inappro-

priate for flow areas).

6 Click OK

When you have finished save the template as de-

scribed in section 7.3

The second figure (above) shows a template at this

stage. It has one non-repeatable block item – The

program name, Two non-repeatable flow items – The

Date and Language, Two repeatable flow items – The

Changed areas and Other languages; the second of

these is optional.
