Edit Content (body) in Drupal
The best way to learn how to create content is to do it. Personally I found that writing about 3-5 articles/blog entries and forum articles was my turning point on editing and working online.
The picture below shows an example of the filtered toolbar for FCKeditor.
As you can see this is very similar to toolbars in other text editors and it is very simple to use. I am not going through the most obvious like regret, select all, bold, italic and underscore etc.
Source is an interesting one choice. When you click on it, you will see the HTML code that make the page look the way you want it to. Click on source again and it will come back to WYSIWYG editing.
There are three icons for pasting on the top left. The first will paste whatever is in the clipboard. The second will paste plain text. That is the one that I am using if I have written something in Word or similar. The last is to be used as a minimum when you have written something in Word and want to paste it in to a web site.
The anchor is for creating a special point within the web page. Often used when you have one page with frequently asked questions on one page. Then each of the questions (down the page) will be marked as an anchor and you link to them from the top of the page where the questions will be listed.
Tables are one of the most used functions to display groups of data and you work with it in Drupal the same way as in desktop programs.
Horizontal lines are important on many web pages to separate content.
What is a modern website without the possibility to create a smiley?
Very often you want to insert special characters on a web site and there is a table for it, but it is no fun. This is a fast and easy way to get the most important ones.
Images, flash and links will be in separate chapters.
