KompoZer User Guide 17 December 2007 Based on version 0.7.10 41
Appendix 1 – Glossary
This Glossary defines terms as used in this docu-
ment. As far as possible, when terms used also occur
in the HTML or CSS specifications, they have the same
meanings as in those specifications. In such cases
more precise definitions may be obtained there.
ASCII
American Standard Code for information Inter-
change. Defines a set of 95 printable characters.
BMP
Basic Multilingual plane.
Button
A small picture, or icon, which when clicked results
in an action. KompoZer buttons are of various shapes.
CaScadeS
The CSS editor that comes with KompoZer.
CSS
Cascading Style Sheets.
Declaration
The second part of a style rule. Contains format
details of the style.
Deprecated
A feature marked as deprecated is one which is
considered obsolete, and whose use is discouraged.
Generally CSS provides better features. Transitional
Document types allow the use of deprecated features.
(The ‘Strict’ type does not.)
Directory
Equivalent to what Windows calls a ‘folder’.
Doctype
Document type Declaration - see appendix 3.
DTD
Document type Definition - see appendix 3.
Element
A small part of a web page such as a paragraph or an
image which can be manipulated by a browser in
ways determined by the code associated with the
element.
Extension
The final section of a filename (after the dot) indicat-
ing the type of file.
FTP
File Transfer Protocol. Used to transfer files to a server.
Handle
Symbols, usually small squares, on the edges of
sizing boxes which, when clicked, allow the size or
position to be dragged.
HTML
HyperText Markup Language. The publishing lan-
guage of the World Wide Web.
ISP
Internet Service Provider.
KompoZer
The open source software package available at
http://kompozer.sourceforge.net/, on which this
guide is based.
Mozilla
I use the term to refer to a number of similar browsers
including Netscape 6 and later, Mozilla and Firefox.
MSIE
Microsoft Internet Explorer. The browser from Micro-
soft Corporation.
Non-breaking space
A space character which, though invisible, acts as a
normal character in that a ‘word’ which includes a
non-breaking space will not be split to wrap a line.
Nvu
A predecessor software package on which KompoZer
is based. The final version available at
http://www.nvu.com/, contains bugs which are
gradually being eliminated in each new version of
KompoZer.
Quirks Mode
For documents with transitional doctype MSIE offers
two modes of operation ‘Standards mode’ and
‘Quirks mode’. In quirks mode it emulates the behav-
iour of MSIE5. Quirks mode is triggered when the
doctype does not comply with the specification and
omits the DTD.
Selector
The first part of a style rule. (May be thought of as the
name of the rule.)
Sizing box
A box, denoted by small squares, (Handles) which in
KompoZer appears around some items when clicked.
See also ‘Handle’.
Strict
see ‘Deprecated’.
Stylesheet
A text file, that may be a part of the page in use, that
describes the position, appearance or behaviour of
some or all of the html elements of which the page
consists. Some terms used in developing stylesheets
are explained in section 4.2.1
Tab (window)
Part of many window structures which emulate the
tab on a paper filing system designed to give quick
access to part of the file. If a tab is clicked a new
display will appear within the same window.
Tab (key)
The keyboard key intended to emulate the action of
the tab key on a typewriter.
Tag
A piece of code in a web page associated with an
element. Typically each element has a start tag and
an end tag. Tags include the element name and are
surrounded by angle brackets. E.g. <p> and </p>.
UCS
Universal character set. A set of about 100,000 characters.
Upload (ing)
The process of transferring web files from a local
computer to the computer which will host them on
the web.
URL
Uniform Resource Locator. The web address of an
item.
W3C
World Wide Web Consortium http://www.w3.org/ A
consortium of the 500 biggest IT corporations who got
together to define specifications and recommenda-
tions so that languages like HTML or CSS can inter-
operate without problems on different platforms, de-
vices, operating systems and media.
