Languages and Structures / Adding Elements

Subtitles of the Movie

Let's begin by adding elements - file, new, document. I am going to choose the structured body template, click new - wonderful. Ok here we are like we were before, I zoomed out just to get a little bit more control – you can do that at the bottom of your window. And now we display the element catalog. You could see it is very limited, we don't have many elements that we can add to this document, these are the elements that are already there. Let’s take it a bit further shall we - let's go to elements, and we can look at the new element options which shows us about attributes, which we’ll be getting into a little bit later. And of course we are going to go back to elements again and choose set available elements. We want to customize our list of elements, so we check off customize, and we click edit. Now we can add some things to our element catalog. I am going to start off with a few things - date, header, heading one and two, list, list item, question, section, subsection and click set, and then set again. Now you can see it has all been added to the elements catalog, which I can use at any given point in time. But, I need to display the structured view - always put them side by side. I have to overlap, click below the heading and then insert an element. And there is the body, there is the body text - I am using it as a subheading right now. I am going to insert the date - I am going to mouse over my clock on my computer, and then type the date. I can swap the date to the top of my structure, you can add a section. So you can add elements on the fly which is nice, once you have your elements set up you can customize your elements, work with your elements, and insert them at any given point in time. r elements, and insert them at any given point in time.
