color=#0000ff size=2>If you use Xerte on-line toolkits or Xerte and base your
projects on the Page Templates project wide template you can create learning
modules without coding. However their benefit - that they protect the
non-technical user from the underlying structure of Xerte, also makes them a
less than ideal way of developing your own coding skills.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

combine the ease of using form driven page templates with easy access to the
underlying icon structure, so that you can see how everything hangs together
then you might like to download the Xerte page wizards - full details are on the
Xerte wiki.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

color=#0000ff size=2>Page wizards can be a good way of learning more
about how Xerte works, whilst having the comfort of form driven pages. There
easy access to the underlying structure also makes it easy to tweak a page if it
doesn't do quite what you would like it too.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal>Hi Everybody,<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>While watching this list I notice most of the communication
is about coding issues. Are their many no coders here. And is it realistic
to be a non coder and use Xerte?<o:p></o:p></P>
