There is one further method which is very easy to

apply and which is applicable not only to single ele-

ments (e.g. Table (and/or cells), Image, Heading, Para-

graph, Form) but also to a group opf elements.

The method uses the full border capabilities of CSS

which provides complete control of

Colour of the border

Thickness (width) of the border

Style – Solid, dotted, dashed, double etc.

Different choices for each side

The method does not cover other options which are

sometimes available elsewhere e.g. Padding.

To apply a border select a block or highlight a

group of blocks, then and click the ‘Borders’

button.

Note The Borders button is not installed by

default. To access it customise the Format Tool-

bar. See section 9.3

Leave the check box ticked and set the style, width

and colour for the top border. If all borders are to be

the same click ‘OK’ otherwise clear the box and edit

the settings for the other sides.

3.12 The Body

This is the background on which the whole page

sits. The Body may be thought of as the Page itself.

Normally it is of little concern to the designer but there

are a few situations when it is.

The body can carry a background colour or image

which lies behind everything else on the page in HTML

documents (in XHTML documents, the background

content for the body element defines only the back-

ground for the body element).Thus the overall appear-

ance of a page can be significantly determined by this

content.

To set a background

1 On the Status bar click the <body> marker. All

the contents of the page will be highlighted.

2 Right-click and select ‘Inline Styles’ and

‘Background properties’.

3 Make the desired selections and click OK.

The ‘Inline Styles’ allows you to set several other

properties for the whole page. This includes Text,

Border and Box properties. This can be a quick way of

styling a whole page since Text properties, for in-

stance, will trickle down (technically they are ‘inherit-

ed’) to everything on the page for which they are not

otherwise specifically stated. Border and box proper-

ties are not inherited.

Stylesheets (see section 4.4) often set several gen-

eral properties for the body to avoid having to repeat

them several times.

Inline styles may set the body width to be less than

the full window width. In this case it may be desired to

centre the page in the window.

To centre a page in the window

1 On the Status bar click the <body> marker. All

the contents of the page will be highlighted

2 Right-click and select ‘Inline Styles’ and ‘Box

properties’

3 In the ‘Width’ box select the width desired for

the page

4 In the ‘Margins’ area in both ‘Left’ and ‘Right’

boxes type ‘auto’

5 Click OK

3.13 Table of contents

3.13.1 Introduction

If you have a long document with sections headed

using heading formats Heading 1, Heading 2 etc Kom-

poZer can generate a Table of Contents (ToC) automat-

ically. The table reflects the structure of the page, the

content of the headings forming the text of the table.

By default the entries in the ToC will be linked to

the heading to which they refer thus facilitating navi-

gation around the page.

If required, the ToC can be numbered so that the

Heading 1 levels are numbered from 1 upwards, Head-

ing 2 levels are numbered from 1 upwards but this

numbering restarts each time the level 1 number is

incremented. Similarly for lower levels.

It is not necessary to list all heading levels in the

ToC; for example it is possible to select only first and

second levels. More importantly it is not necessary for

the page to include any particular heading level so, if

the page formatting uses Heading 5 and Heading 6

only, these may form the basis of the ToC; thus the use

of Table of Contents imposes little restraint on the

document structure.

If the headings in the page do not provide a satis-

factory structure for the ToC it is possible to include

short paragraphs specifically for this purpose. These

may be included at any level in the ToC. The selected

paragraphs are identified by applying a named class

style (section 4.2.3) generated for the purpose (unless

fortuitously pre-existing). Alternatively a <div> (section

4.5) to which a named class style has been applied

may be used.

Generating and using a ToC in this way has the

considerable advantage that it can be automatically

maintained ensuring that changes to the page are

accurately reflected.

A ToC works only within the page in which it

resides. Links to other pages must be entered and

maintained manually.

3.13.2 Inserting a Table of Contents

To insert a ToC

1 Place the cursor where the table is required

2 Click Insert > Table of Contents > Insert

3 The ‘Table of Contents’ window appears

4 In the column headed ‘Tag’ select the tag for

each level e.g. against level 1 select h3 and

against level 2 select h4 and for all the others

select ‘--’

5 If, instead of using headings you wish to use

classed paragraphs or a div, instead of selecting

a heading tag select ‘p’ or ‘div’ and in the box in

the column headed ‘Class’ enter the class re-

quired. (It is, of course, also possible to select

headings by allocating a class.)

6 If you wish the contents to be numbered check

the box ‘Number all entries ...’

7 Click OK

The Table of Contents will be created.

Note The box ‘Make the table of contents read-

only’ does not work.

To update a ToC after changes have been made to a page.

There is no need to place the cursor.

1 Click Insert > Table of Contents > Update
