Thanks for the advice.
If I successfully create a new .xwd file is there a way I can duplicate
the new feature in an installation of Xerte on-line toolkits?
Kind regards

I'd look at creating your own model to use in pageTemplates, and modify
the .xwd to expose the variables you want. For a simple one, check out
the title page model and corresponding section in the .xwd.

Subject: RE: [Xerte] RE: question about xerte
When using models in either templates or xerte toolkits, is it possible
to control the content from the template or toolkit, perhaps by using
the initObject value, or can you only set the content in raw xerte when
you create the model?
For example could you
1. create a model in raw xerte that displayed some text and a graphic.
2. Import the model into a template or toolkit project.
3. Change the text that was displayed.
4. Change the graphic that was displayed, or change graphic properties
such as h, w, x, y.
I am looking to find out how generic I can make a model so that I can
create a model that does something not available from a template, but
which can then be controlled from the template or toolkit. But at
present I don't know enough to create new templates.
Kind regards

Follow these steps and you will see what I mean:
Open Xerte.
Create a new page.
In the page add a text icon
Write some text in it.
Select the page icon
Click 'file, save as model' and save the model
...
Now go back to your template project.
Insert -> Media - >Xerte content
Load up the model you just saved.
Run the piece.
So now you can create custom pages to go alongside those included in the
template. That is what you need to do.
Please address questions to the list.

But i have already installed xerte. i opened xerte and then i choosed
templates->page templates and i work there because i found it easier.
Also i choosed to publish the project from there and upload this to my
web
application. i Just do not know how can i see the source code of my
published pages to put the code you gave me and display the example as
text and not as code.
This may be a stupid question but it is my first touch with
xerte.forgive me.
>From the xerte (not the templates) i tried to do something but when i
published it it did not produce me the web files. i do not know why and
what was my mistake. so i am working with templates wich is more simple.
but if there is a better way let me know please.
Thanks for your time.
