another way to set up a website (but buggy)by joshcello - 11:36AM, Oct 24, 2009 |

Since using Notebook to launch a website at Brandeis University geared toward my cello students, I’ve been tinkering to see if I could create a simple web site layout without the standard automatic Notebook sidebar and outline look. If I use a note page, I can create a header by inserting a jpg (ex. a logo) in the first cell. The second cell I inserted a 1 row/2 column table. The first column I placed a graphic followed by my own “table of contents” which I altered with the preferences links menu; the second column features the content for the page. I was very careful before exporting to label this page the index.html and turn off the auto-creation of such a page, and also turned off the table of contents export. So while my quartet’s website is obviously not this look, it was possible to do a rough layout and export it. I do find the table a bit buggy though, even thought the final appearance seems ok; after working on it, the navigation text in the lefthand column got all jumbled in the notebook file, while the text in the righthand column sometimes disappeared. I posted the notebook file in the template swap; here is a jpg of how it looks in Safari. |

If the table feature can be modified to become less buggy, this could be a great way to layout a web page…

The functionality in NoteBook for tables is that which is built into OS X. You’ll see the same functionality in TextEdit for example. It is not the most robust technology and is somewhat buggy. We are working on implementing a more advance table format for NoteBook. This will appear in a future update. You’ve done some nice work with NoteBook… quite clever! ---
