WebWorks Publisher Cookbook Errata

This page lists errors in The WebWorks Publisher Cookbook.

page 21

paragraph two, sentence two should read: This book will show you in step-by-step procedures how to use the tool's interface...

page 116

The code example directly above the "Modifying styles" heading has an incorrect line break. The code should look like this:

<a name="12345"> </a><p>This is the first paragraph.</p><a 
name="123456"> </a><p>This is the second paragraph.</p>

The point of the example is that if you do not put a line break at the end of a style definition, then the paragraphs will be run together in the output.

page 120

In table styles, $DATA returns the contents of the table, row by row. (The original is unclear.)

page 170

Second line from bottom. The 10 should be deleted from the list of matching characters.

page 171

In the Roman numerals section, xlix is 49, not 39.

page 194

Table 29, Resolution pane entry. Default uses the setting of the original source file (if it is a bitmap) or the platform default (96dpi on Windows).

page 213

Table 30, the Function description for a:Active. It reads "Sets the default color for a link that the users is currently selecting...." It should read "...that the users are currently selecting...."

page 306

You need to set the Indentation Level on the Level subtab to 1, as in the screen capture on page 306. If the setting is 0, WWP will not insert the ActiveX object code in the right location, and the link object won't be visible. The HTML Help Workshop will also generate the following error:

HHC3000: Warning: Invalid syntax: A <PARAM> tag
appears outside of an <OBJECT> tag.

page 359

4th line from bottom should read XML instead of XHTML.

page 433

$PAGENUMBER returns the sequential number of the current page in the project. That is, the third output page returns 3.

page 445

Parentheses are not supported in WWP regular expressions, so the example won't work.

page 463

Same problem as page 445.
