Layout Method: GoLive “GRID” Tables

GoClick's Wizzy-Web tables are a very powerful layout tool. But because of their sophistication, they
are difficult to edit with a traditional HTML editor. Adobe GoLive, a very advanced visual HTML
editor, allows you to edit layouts by dragging objects over a grid. The GRID features are only used by
GoLive—all other browsers and editors treat GRID Tables as if they were normal HTML Tables.
Because they make GoLive-editing of page layout tables so simple, GoClick supports the output of
GoLive GRID tables.

For explanation of the first three settings for GRID Tables, see the section on HTML Tables above.

GRID Settings
These settings define the size and visibility of the GoLive GRID. For information on these settings,
please see your GoLive documentation.

Layout Method: Cascading Style Sheets

Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) provide the most accurate and full-featured way to lay out a page. They
can specify the exact pixel position of an object, and they allow multiple objects to overlap. GoClick
makes full use of Cascading Style Sheets when locating objects on the page, supporting overlapping
text and graphics. Note: Cascading Style Sheets are supported on 4.0 or greater browsers. A Web page
with Cascading Style Sheets viewed in an older browser will appear as if “Layout Method: <none>”
had been used to convert the document.

Separate Pages visually with Adobe Acrobat styling
Adobe Acrobat is a technology for creating portable documents that can be printed on many platforms
with one of the freely available Acrobat Reader applications. While Acrobat documents don’t have the
same advantages as GoClick documents (i.e., no reader application required, Web-searchable, easy to
read on the screen, universal HTML format), it’s ability to maintain print fidelity is very useful.

When viewed on the screen, an Acrobat document looks like a printed page, with a white page on top
of a gray background. Since GoClick mimics the appearance of a printed page with HTML, this option
creates a Web page that mimics the look of an Acrobat document. This option is only available with
Cascading Style Sheets, since it uses overlapping objects.

Spacing Options

GoClick maintains the spacing of text blocks, as well as some spacing between words and lines within
blocks.

Paragraph Margins
When these options are checked, margins surrounding paragraph blocks will be maintained. You have
the choice of using HTML or Cascading Style Sheets to maintain the margins.

Text Spacing
These options preserve the vertical spacing between lines and the horizontal spacing between words.
When “Line” is checked, the vertical spacing between lines will be preserved. When the HTML
method is also selected, invisible images are placed between each line to maintain the spacing. When
CSS is checked, a single style sheet attribute is used for the entire paragraph. When “Word” is
checked, invisible images will be placed between words that are further apart than a single space
character. There is no equivalent way to accomplish word spacing with CSS. Since justified paragraphs
already put spaces between word, the “Word” option has no effect on justified paragraphs.

Line Indents
These settings preserve the indenting of single lines within paragraphs. When “First line” is checked,
the indenting of a paragraph’s first line will be preserved. You have the choice of using either HTML
or CSS to maintain the first line indenting. Note: Internet Explorer 4.0 sometimes ignores first line
indenting with CSS. For this reason, you may wish to use HTML for this setting. When “All lines” is
checked, the indenting the first and subsequent lines of a paragraph will be preserved. This feature is
supported with HTML only.

Paragraph Alignment
When this option is checked, the alignment of text within paragraphs will be preserved. Supported
forms of text alignment are “left”, “right”, “center”, and “justify”. You may choose to produce either
CSS, HTML, or both CSS and HTML. Browser testing indicates that Internet Explorer 4.0 does not
support “justify” alignment in CSS or HTML.
