KompoZer User Guide 17 December 2007 Based on version 0.7.10 7
3 Using KompoZer
3.1 Finding your way around
When KompoZer starts the window carries a menu
bar across the top (File, Edit, View etc). Below this are
three ‘Toolbars’. To ensure that everything is visible,
on the Menu bar select View > Show/Hide and see that
each of the following is checked: Composition Toolbar,
Format Toolbar 1, Format Toolbar 2, Edit Mode Tool-
bar, Status bar, Rulers, Site Manager.
The three toolbars across the top of the window
carry buttons (represented by icons). Hover on any to
find its function. If any are greyed out they are not
functional in the current mode as they are context
sensitive.
Note Not all buttons are installed initially. The
full list is given in section 9.3 Customising tool-
bars
Across the centre of the window are two panes: the
‘Site Manager’ on the left and a blank web page on the
right. The Site Manager is a powerful tool which is
covered in section 8. Since it is not needed yet it may
be closed by clicking on its close button or pressing F9.
At the top of the Page area there is a Page tab which
carries the name of the page (‘Untitled’). (KompoZer
Help refers to this as the ‘Tab Browser’ toolbar.) If you
had several pages open, as shown in the figure, this
tab would allow you to select one them rapidly.
At the bottom of the page area is the ‘Edit Mode
Toolbar’ which carries four tabs which select one of
four ‘Viewing modes’ for a page (‘Normal’, ‘HTML Tags’,
‘Source’, ‘Preview’.)
For details of viewing modes see section 3.15.
At the bottom of the window is the ‘Status Bar’.
This is a very powerful tool. Once a page is populated,
by clicking any item in the page area its structure
appears on the status bar. Any class or id applied to
an element is shown and any bearing an inline style is
indicated in italic type. Hovering reveals the style
declaration. Additionally clicking an element marker
highlights the element in both normal view and, on
changing view, in source view thus simplifying naviga-
tion in source view.
Note The figure shows the buttons as they
appear when KompoZer is first installed. They
may be customised to different arrangements
(see section 9.3). If this has been done some of
the following may be difficult to follow. To re-
store defaults click View > Show/Hide > Cus-
tomize Toolbar > Main Toolbar > Restore Default
Set and repeat similarly for the Format Toolbar.
Using KompoZer right-click any toolbar to custom-
ise it.
3.2 Starting a page
A new page can be created either from a blank page
or by opening any pre-existing page.
Note There are often several ways of getting
KompoZer to do something. This guide will use
the button on the Composition toolbar if that is
available. For menu equivalents see section 9.3
Menu alternatives
3.2.1 Document types (Doctype)
Web pages use the Hypertext Markup Language
(HTML). There are number of variants of the basic
language some details of which are outlined in Appen-
dix 3. KompoZer is capable of creating and editing four
variants but for simplicity of explanation I recom-
mend that users create the Strict HTML variant. I
also recommend that you go the menu item Tools
> Options > General and check the box ‘Use CSS
Styles instead of HTML Elements ...’ this will give
you the maximum functionality. You can edit docu-
