The Encyclopedia module lets you build multiple online "reference books," each of which can contain multiple entries. Figure 14.1 shows the Encyclopedia Manager, accessible from the Administration menu, where you'll create your first encyclopedia. Figure 14.1. Creating a new encyclopedia.Once you've created an encyclopedia (or several, if you like), you can start adding terms. Figure 14.2 shows the Add a New Encyclopedia Term entry page, which is available after you've created at least one empty encyclopedia. As you can see, you can enter a title for the entry, as well as text describing it. Figure 14.2. Creating a new encyclopedia term, or entry.Your entry text can include basic HTML formatting, which I covered in Topic 12, "Using the Content Module." It can also include the special <!--pagebreak--> tag, which breaks your entry into multiple pages for easier reading. I also discussed that tag in Topic 12. Quickly review these basic formatting tags:
Another useful tag, especially within encyclopedias, is the image tag. It looks like this: <img src="http://www.mywebsite.com/images/mypicture.gif">. The src portion points to a graphic file that's living on a Web server someplace, which means that the image tag enables you to insert a picture into your text. This is an especially useful function within encyclopedia entries, where a good picture can easily save you from having to type a long description of something. |
