How to Use the Content Editor
- Add text or delete text just by typing. Editing text is like blogging.
- Advanced users: Click Source to see a section’s HTML. Vook cleans up your HTML slightly in order to produce valid eBooks.
-
One-off formatting changes can be made in the Content editor.
- Examples: Making 1-2 words bold or italic. Making 1 word a different color. Resizing 1 image.
-
Book-wide formatting changes should be made in the Style editor.
- Examples: Making all of your headers italic. Setting the font and font size for the entire book. Adding a border to all images.
-
Change elements using the Format drop down menu. Highlight text and select a new element. These elements can be styled in the Style editor.
- The elements are:
-
- Normal: Default paragraph (<p>).
- Heading 1 – Heading 6: Headline level 1 through Headline level 6 (<h1> through <h6>).
- Normal (div): Special paragraph formatting. You do not need to select this; Vook will apply it when necessary.
- Formatted: Monospaced code (<pre>).
- Address: Rarely used. Adds <address>.
-
Apply special formatting using the Styles drop down menu. Highlight text and select a style.
-
Some styles only become available once you’ve styled them in the Style editor.
- The special styles are:
-
- div.figure: This is applied to media automatically. Use it when creating image captions.
- div.figcaption: Use it when creating image captions.
- p.first / p.first-child: These are identical. Apply them to your first paragraph. They become available once you’ve changed the first paragraph formatting.
- span.first-letter: Apply this to create a drop cap. It becomes available once you’ve changed the drop cap formatting.
