This is a new page that I am creating with Amaya 9.55, which I installed on my Ubuntu 8.10 system today. I also added Gnome widgets for date and time, calendar and analog clock, you know, the one with hands. It looks like a wall clock that were in places I have worked for or schools I attended back in the Good 'Ol Days of the 20th Century!
I was very easy to set colors in style. Maybe I will go look at the source
and see how it sets up style, This looks like it is in the <body>
element. That is true. I was able to look at the source for this page.
I had inserted a date stamp, which is put in a paragraph, followed by a
horizontal rule.
2009-10-15
For some reason Amaya wouldn't let me go beyond the horizontal rule.
This is forced to appear after the horizontal rule. It was made by editing the source document. The last line and this one were added using the WYSIWYG editor.
I just created a division with a smaller font as the style. I added this text to the division with the smaller font.
This was supposed to be a paragraph, but not overridden by the fontsize
change in the division. Maybe it is still inside the division. Moving the
</div> tag fixed the problem. The text within the division
was put inside a paragraph. I'll bet that I can move the cursor to the end of
that text and it will get styled with the smaller font. BTW, I like what this
editor is doing so far, it makes good sense, and where a question is raised
about what the mark-up is, I can simply display the file source and edit it
directly, switching back to WYSIWYG at will. This is highly desirable. So I
was able to answer all of the above questions. I am going to insert another
horizontal rule, but just before this paragraph. I put it in the wrong place,
before the <div> tag. I should be able to fix that by
going and editing the source mark-up directly. And that worked exactly as I
expected. After adding the text to the division, I immediately added this
line. The additions appear with the style they should have.
