Customizing this Documentation - My_Notes
My_Notes are easy to incorporate directly into the pages of this user manual. They can be used to clarify content,
add additional information, or document your custom settings, operational tactics or procedures. My_Notes are
page specific and display at the bottom of the desired page under the "My_Notes" heading. No programming is
required - it is as simple as saving a file with your notes.
Creating My_Notes
My_Notes can be written in HTML or plain text. HTML allows for more flexible formatting and inclusion of images
or links to other web pages.
To add a My_Note, create an HTML or text file containing the note and save it in the
folder, which can be found in the computer account user's documents folder
for Windows XP).
Documents\
The file should be named the same as the page in which you want the note to appear, with a "my_" prefix (without
the quotes). For example, if you want a My_Note to appear at the bottom of this page, the name of the file to
create is: my_custom_my_notes.html. The name of the page being viewed can be found in the address bar of
the browser being used to display this documentation.
Even if you are using a text file, the file name must end with the ".html" extension.
All My_Notes files are processed as HTML, so if you are using a plain text file, you will need to add "<pre>"
(without the quotes) at the beginning of the file and "</pre>" (without the quotes) at the end of the file if you want
to preserve the layout. The "<pre>" and "</pre>" will not show up in the display.
When using HTML, the My_Notes folder serves as the root for relative links. An images folder is included
for you to store images. You may add other folders or files as desired.
Viewing My_Notes
When you reload the page, your My_Note will appear - there is nothing else to install or configure. A sample
My_Note file has been included to display the My_Note below. You can use this file as a model for creating your
own My_Notes.
Updating My_Notes
To update a My_Note, simply edit and re-save the My_Note file.
Removing My_Notes
My_Notes can be removed by deleting or renaming the My_Note file.
Sizing My_Notes Display (Optional)
The default vertical size for My_Notes is set to 200 pixels, which is used for the sample My_Note below. Due to
browser limitations, My-Notes do not size dynamically. This means that a long My_Note may display a scroll bar in
order to view the whole My-Note. You can adjust the size to eliminate the need for the scroll bar. To set the size
of a My_Note, you need to edit the file named
defined above). The file contains one line for each page of this document using the following format:
window.page_name
= size_in_pixels;
Find the line for the page that includes the My_Note you want to resize and replace the value of
with the desired size in pixels. The page names are listed alphabetically. Example line from
