[Xerte] Re: Narration oddness (Wizards)

[Kemp Johnathan]

I think Julian may be issuing a new version of Xerte to bring the project
templates up to date with the impending update to Online Toolkits in the
near future.

There are likely to be some significant changes to Page Wizards as I think I
have found a way for Page Wizards and PageTemplates to share a set of common
.rlm files which will mean it will be relatively easy in future to create a
page as a Page Wizard and then to port it across to Online Toolkits or into
the PageTemplates project wide template.

If all goes to plan this will all get packaged up into the next release of
Page Wizards and I will pick up on Narration Issues at the same time.

However in the mean time I will try to test out what you say and if I can
duplicate it I will see if I can implement Julian's fix in the
narrationHandler.rlm.

There should only be one narrationHandler.rlm in a Page Wizards project,
that is then called by every page that uses Narration.

I took a quick look at your website, but was not sure which exercise to
open.

I will put a bit more time into trying to sort the narration out as soon as
I can, but at present time may be short for a day or two.

Kind regards

Johnathan
