Date: Thu, 16 Feb 2012 19:08:20 +0000<br>Subject: [Xerte] release / print / hyperlinked images / hyperlink color/ select and copy/ table of contents / export to ePub<div><div class="h5"><br><br>
<div>
<p><span style>Hello!</span></p>
<p><span style>Yet again, I have “a few” XERTE questions – an opportunity to thank everyone for the support on this mailing list!</span></p>
<p><span style>1.</span><span style="font-size:7.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">
</span><span style>New Release date: I am getting started with a bigger project (an open access “e-book” on local government in North Carolina) and currently working with xerte 2.17. Since Jonathan cautioned me towards the use of page wizards
which I am currently relying heavily upon to create functionality, I was wondering when the new release of
<span>Xerte</span> is due and became a little confused: Xerte 3.0 is still beta isn’t it?</span></p>
<p><span style>2. Print: I am sorry to bring this up again, but printing has really been a nightmare for me. Attached is a sample LO with a print button. It displays the button on every page, but does not have the print functionality
desired: What am I doing wrong in adding the script? Does anyone have a working example I could use as a model? Also, when I integrate content in navigation pages (slides, accordion) is there a way to include this in the print view? As a makeshift solution,
I figured that I could just manually create a PDF for each page and link that. Which than leads to the question of how I can place a hyperlink on an image… - see 3.</span></p>
<p><span style>3. Hyperlinked images: How can I place a URL on an image within the image icon, e.g., if I want to link from an image back to a Web site or create a button (see above)?</span></p>
<p><span style>4. Hyperlink color: At the moment, the hyperlinks in my LO have the same font color as the rest of the text. I can add color and style with a font tag, but, obviously, that solution isn’t really great. I was trying
to change the color of hyperlinks with the solution suggested in the Xerte wiki (<a href="http://wiki.xerte.net/index.php5?title=Stylesheets" target="_blank">http://wiki.xerte.net/index.php5?title=Stylesheets</a>). However, it does not work. Can anyone see a reason why?
</span></p>
<p><span style>5. Select and copy text from published Xerte learning object: For some reason, I cannot select and copy text from my published learning object. I have seen this in other Xerte objects as well:
<a href="http://www-old.hud.ac.uk/tqef/xerte/index.htm" target="_blank">http://www-old.hud.ac.uk/tqef/xerte/index.htm</a>. However, in some courses, for example the Sherwood Forest LO, copy and paste works fine. Can I change a setting or do something else to enable copy and
paste? I imagine that would be really annoying for users / readers.</span></p>
<p><span style>6. Table of contents: Can I include pages that are not displayed in the table of contents but are available through back / forth navigation?</span></p>
<p><span style>7. I read a bit about concerns with Xerte player’s Flash format and the suggestion to see it as an XML editor and create different output formats. Has anyone ever tried to export the Xerte XML content to ePub
or other formats?</span></p>
<p><span style>Advice on any of these questions would be greatly appreciated! I am happy to contribute and share documentation for Xerte, since I will have to provide training here at the School anyway.</span></p>
<p><span style>Thanks,<br>
Stefanie</span></p>
