Term

With the CNXML Term style, we can designate key terms in our document. If you are using Microsoft Word to prepare your document, you can also point this term at an example of its usage by marking it as a hyperlink and then applying CNXML Term.

Quote

Using the CNXML Quote (Block) style, we can designate a section of text as a block quote from another source. Use CNXML Quote (Inline) to designate inline quotes that should not be set apart from the surrounding text. If you are using Microsoft Word to prepare your document, you could also point this at an online source by marking it as a hyperlink and then applying CNXML Quote (Inline) .

Hyperlinks

Using the Hyperlink style, we can create a hyperlink pointing to a URL. This will become a link element in your Connexions module. We can also point at specific locations within the document by pointing, for example, at any section title created using the H1 , H2 , … styles, or at any bookmark we have inserted into the document.

Exercise

We can make exercises that only have problems by marking them up using the CNXML Exercise (Problem) style. We can also make exercises that have problems and solutions by following the text marked CNXML Exercise (Problem) with some more text marked CNXML Exercise (Solution) .

Theorems

We can have theorems with or without proofs. To make a theorem statement, we can use the CNXML Theorem (Statement) style. To construct a theorem with both a statement and a proof, we use CNXML Theorem (Statement) followed by CNXML Theorem (Proof) .

Definitions

We can have terms with definitions . To do so, we mark the term using the CNXML Definition (Term) style, and we follow it with the explanation marked using the CNXML Definition (Meaning) style.

Notes

We can create note boxes using the CNXML Note style.

Examples

We can create example boxes using the CNXML Example style.

Other objects

We can do more than just mark up text using the Word/OOo importer. We can also add images to our document, create tables, add lists, and even insert mathematical expressions…

Sections

H1 applied to a section title produces a new section . The section lasts until the next H1 -marked title. An H2 -marked title in between produces a subsection (which lasts until the next H2 - or H1 -marked title).

Paragraphs

You can also use certain features of the Word or OpenOffice editor to produce other CNXML tags. Pressing Enter gives a new line and produces a new paragraph .

Images

You can insert images into your Word document as you would normally, and they will import into Connexions. It’s best to stick to image types such as with .eps, .jpg, .png, and .gif (or any format with a valid image type ); avoid formats such as .wmf and .svg, and avoid Clip Art.

Use only images that are locally available on your machine. Make sure either that (1) the images are already available under a creative commons (CC) attribution license , or (2) you own the image copyrights and are willing to make them available under a CC attribution license.

Figure

We can precede images with text marked with the CNXML Figure Title style to give them a title, and follow them with text marked in the CNXML Figure Caption style to give them a caption. This will produce a figure in the module.
