Aiuto per Docs versione 1.0.0

CoType 
======
(C) Jorn Wildt 2007

CoType is a document editing module. With CoType you can create multiple
documents with nested sections in it - just as if you created a DocBook
XML file, a LaTeX document or a well structured Word document.

A document consists of nested sections, so you always end up with a
structure like this:

Document
  +- Section 1
  |    +- Section 1.1
  |    |    + Section 1.1.1
  |    +- Section 1.2
  +- Section 2

You can also add "boxes" to your sections. These boxes contains images 
(references to multimedia files from Mediashare), program examples or simply 
some text. Boxes can be positioned in various places of their containing
sections - top left, top right, above and bottom.

CoType is designed to cover the grounds between a Wiki and a single document.

Wiki elements:
- With CoType you can collaborate on document creation since every person can
  edit their own sections (can also be open to anonymous users).
- With CoType you can easily link different sections and boxes (there is a 
  toolbar button for this in the editor).
- CoType has a complete revision history for each section and you can see who
  edited what, when and from where.
- Everything is instantly online.

Single document elements:
- All sections in a CoType document can be printed, exported or downloaded as 
  one single document for off-line use (not feature complete yet).
- You get a nice structured table of content.
- You can read the text linearly from section one and forward.


Features:
- Create unlimited number of documents
- Add unlimited number of sections to documents
- Add floating figures with images and text
- Organize sections hierarchically by drag-and-drop
- Automatic table of contents
- HTML WYSIWYG editing using FCKEditor
- Insert cross references
- Support for PostNuke .8 search API
- Complete revision history
- Only one person at a time are allowed to edit the same section. No more
  overwriting of other peoples work (depends on PostNuke .8's PageLock
  mechanism).


Future features/ideas:
- Footnotes/end notes
- Bibliography
- Export to DocBook/Html/LaTeX/PDF/Word


Requirements
------------
Latest PostNuke .8 development version directly from the Subversion archive.
(at the time of writing CoType uses features added around the end of 
May 2007)

Mediashare 2.1.2.


Installing
----------
Just do as with any other PostNuke module. There's (so far) no admin
panel, so the main URL is:

  http://yourhostname/index.php?module=CoType

You may perhaps need to activate the PostNuke system module PageLock manually
in the normal modules admin window.

PostNuke permissions can be configured by document:

     Group          Component           Instance   Permission
     --------------------------------------------------------
     All groups     cotype:document:    .*         read
     YourEditors    cotype:document:    .*         delete

The instance is compared to the document ID using PostNuke's normal regex
based permission check.


Customizing styling
-------------------
CoType includes two stylesheets - one for normal display (pnstyle/style.css)
and one for the editor (pnstyle/editor.css). The editor stylesheet has been
optimized for use with the built-in PostNuke theme Andreas08 - which means
using the same font specifications so the editor looks more "wysiwyg".

You can override both stylesheets by adding your own stylesheets in the
theme's style folder:

  /themes/YourTheme/style/cotype/style.css
  /themes/YourTheme/style/cotype/editor.css
