Using the Site
As we prepare to launch our online outputs in December 2005, we will be adding more features to the website to enable efficient and intuitive delivery of information to users. Some features have already been enabled.
Site Features
Footnotes
Floating footnotes have been added. To use them, *do not* click the link but merely float your mouse over it. The title of the volume or article will appear momentarily.
Example:
Print Stylesheet
A CSS stylesheet to control the appearance of pages when printed will be appended to all pages by mid-August. This strips pages of web-only presentational features, colours, and so on, formatting the pages specifically for the printed page. Choose 'Print', 'Print Preview' in your browser to see the stylesheet.
Future Features
An Online Scratchpad
One of the features we hope to implement when the database of MS descriptions and exercises in cultural mapping go live is an online scratchpad, authored in Javascript, into which users will be able to paste text or images from the site. These will automatically be added to a dedicated database, which will then allow for material to be exported in Rich Text Format or as a PDF.
Example:
Required Software
