Always show publish dialog when publishing pages

If checked, KompoZer always displays the Publish

Page dialog box when you Publish a page. If not

checked, KompoZer only displays the dialog box if it

needs more information in order to publish the page.

Maintain table layout when inserting or deleting

cells

Tables are normally created as a regular matrix i.e.

every row has the same number of cells. With this box

checked inserting a cell in one row should also insert

cells in other rows to maintain regularity. With Kom-

poZer 0.7.10 this does not work.

Use CSS styles instead of HTML elements and

attributes attributes

Originally HTML formatted pages using elements

and attributes. Many of these are not allowed when

using strict doctypes but CSS provides alternatives

and greater flexibility.

Always open a document in a new tab

When opening pages KompoZer normally creates a

new tab to hold it. If this box is checked when a page

is opened using Site Manager a new instance of Kom-

poZer is created to open the page. The previous in-

stance remains available. This does not apply when

pages are opened by other means.

Fonts

In the absence of a definition of the font to be used

a browser will make a choice on some basis built in to

the browser. KompoZer acts in the same way and this

area allows customisation of the choice made. If the

box ‘Allow documents to use other fonts’ is checked

KompoZer will use the font specified in the style or

other means. If the box is unchecked KompoZer will

not respect styles and will use a font from the list

specified on the upper part of this window.

The boxes specifying sizes and screen resolution

appear not to work.

New page settings

These define several of the settings used when

creating new pages. (Others will be found on the

‘Create a new document or template’ window which

appears via the File > New menu.)

Author's name – Set this if you want the author’s

name to appear in the head section of all pages. (For a

specific page this may be set using Format > Page Title

and Properties.)

Readers default colors – Leave this checked. The

alternative of ‘Use custom colors’ allows the colours of

links to be specified but uses deprecated attributes

which are not permitted for pages using strict doctype.

CSS styles provide alternative means of doing the

same thing. (Section 4.2.5.2).

Background image – Set this if you want a partic-

ular background for all pages.

Language – The main language for the page should

be set to facilitate use by automated tools, for instance

speech synthesisers. Many languages offer regionali-

sation alternatives, either select one of these or use the

generic.

Writing direction – Usually this may be left at the

default of ‘No direction specified’. Setting the language

defines the writing direction.

Character set – Normally for western languages

leave this set to the default of ISO-8859-1. If in doubt

set to UTF-8. You can find more about choice of

encoding in Appendix 6.

Note This is badly entitled. It should read

‘Character encoding’. Though it sets a ‘charset’

parameter it dos not define a character set.

Advanced

Set up Proxies – For most people click ‘Connection

settings’ and ensure that ‘Direct connection’ is

checked. If you need to set up proxies refer to Kom-

poZer Help.

Markup – The Markup language and doctype may

be set as desired. I have recommended the use of Strict

HTML.

Note Properly this should be included under

New page Settings. NB It does not alter an

existing page.

Return in paragraph always creates new para-

graph – The action of the Return (Enter) key in or at

the end of text objects is described in the following

table.

Return in Return at end Return in Return at end

Paragraph of paragraph heading of heading

Box New New New Body

checked paragraph paragraph heading

Box New New New Body

cleared line line heading

When the box is checked it is possible to create a

new line in or at the end of a paragraph or heading by

pressing Shift+Enter.

When the box is cleared it is possible to escape

from a paragraph by pressing the Return key twice.

This creates a new paragraph but also leaves a line

break at the end of the previous paragraph. Most

people will prefer to leave the box checked.

The action of the return key in other circumstances

depends on the context, for instance in a table cell it

generates a new line, in a list it creates a new list item.

Underline misspelled words – When set this is a

useful reminder to poor spellers or typists who forget

to run the spell checker separately, however it con-

sumes resources which may slow the system, in par-

ticular the time taken to switch between views may

become excessive. It is usually better to clear this

setting.

Output the following characters as entities – In

normal use this should be set as recommended. No

setting will damage a file but other settings are intend-

ed for use only during development of pages.

Don't encode '>' outside attribute – Set as recom-

mended.

Don't encode special characters as entities – Set

as recommended.
