Hello Xerte 2.n lovers wherever you are :-)

I have just finished uploading a new version of the page wizards file and documentation.

This release is intended to provide support for the development of non-linear sections in your learning objects. It introduces a new section of page wizards f) Routed Pages
In this section you will find:

Routed Hotspot Image
 - now your hotspots can take you to a new page in the learning object, great way to use images of mindmaps from the open source Freemind mind mapping software.

Routed Multiple Choice Question
 - each answer to your question takes you to the page associated with that answer.

Routed Plain Text
 - built in support for hyper-linking to other pages in your learning object, with form based configuration to accommodate the use of Entry Frames and Frameworks.  

Routed Tab Navigation
 - moved from its original location in the c) Navigators section and enhanced.

All four wizards include development mode to display link debugging information and the option to hide the buttons in the standard Xerte interface that would allow you to exit a Xerte page, when using a Routed page, so that you can be sure the user follows one of your links.

The new release of page wizards is available from the Page Wizards page of the Xerte wiki.

Enjoy

Johnathan
