Restricting editing of non-template pages
The Non-template pages section of the Editing category in the Permission Group dialog box lets
you specify what kinds of changes users can make to pages.
Note: These options apply only to pages that are not based on Macromedia Dreamweaver templates. A
Dreamweaver template is a page created in Dreamweaver that has editable and non-editable regions; such
templates provide their own restrictions, and are not controlled by the following editing preferences.
•
Allow unrestricted editing lets users modify any page elements that Contribute supports. This
includes editing text, editing tables, and inserting images.
•
Protect scripts and forms prevents users from deleting script tags, server-side includes, code
tags (such as Macromedia ColdFusion, ASP, JSP, and PHP tags), form tags, and form
elements.
This option is activated by default. Carefully consider if the users editing your website's
content are experienced enough to modify code embedded in web pages. In general, tasks
involving the modification of code and code tags are best left to web developers using
Dreamweaver.
•
Only allow text editing and formatting specifies that users can only edit text, modify styles,
and apply bullets or numbered lists. Users are not able to add or edit tables, images, links, or
delete server directives or plug-in content. Those tags will not be editable.
Specifying paragraph spacing
The Paragraph spacing section of the Editing category in the Permission Group dialog box lets
you specify how Contribute applies HTML paragraph tags, which determines whether blank
lines appear between paragraphs as a user types.
•
One line, as in standard word processors applies inline CSS (Cascading Style Sheet) styles to
each new tag. The CSS styles defined for a website usually cause paragraphs to be rendered
p
closer together. This style is often more familiar to users who have worked with desktop
publishing applications, which provide greater typographic control. Users can include more
space between paragraphs by pressing Enter twice to insert a standard HTML paragraph (
tag.
Note: A trade-off to be aware of when using inline CSS styles is that more complex mark-up tags are inserted
into the page. This can make the HTML structure of the page less clear for web designers who need to access
the page's HTML tags.
