About the collaborative pier

stephane ducasse
Hi doru


Can you change the setup of the pier to have a clear distinction between chapter and section?

Thanks. I would like to avoid losing time all the time.

Re: About the collaborative pier

Hi Stef,

No, I cannot :).

There really is nothing magic, just one single rule: whenever you want  
to add something, you will always add a child to the current page. So,  
if you want to add a page/or whatever, just go to the place you want  
to add it under and invoke add. That is it. What part of it is unclear?

Now, when it comes to section/subsection, you should not care about  
that. Adding a child to a chapter creates a  section. Adding a child  
to a section creates a subsection. And so on.

Cheers,
Doru

I do not know but it hurts me.
There is something wrong in the ui. Else I would not have added twice in a rwo an entry in the table of contents, an section in the wrong place....

The problem is that I cannot decide how to spawn a new page or not. ok so for now I will not use subsection and hack something inside.
I think that simon said the same, the contents is too chopped sometimes having a longer page is way better for the reading flow.

Re: About the collaborative pier

Hannes Hirzel
Hello

I would appreciate as well a log of an example session. I just
installed Pier2 in Squeak 4.1 (Details see
http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/pipermail/squeak-dev/2010-April/148970.html)

How do I add a chapter? If I go to the root page* of the book I and
click 'Add', I only get as choices

-Book figure
-Book portion
-Book note

Hannes

It contains the text 'This is a book'.

Why don't use the pharo version?
Why do you expect that people have time to maintain software for different version?

Re: About the collaborative pier

Hannes Hirzel
This question is not at all Squeak related. My question is: How do I
add a chapter to a book in Pier2.

BTW Pier 2 not only runs on Pharo.  There is some "grease" smeared on
Pharo and Squeak to make it run smoothly.....:-)

Re: About the collaborative pier

Michael Roberts-2
Stef, Doru i have got confused as well with where pages get added. It
makes sense once you understand what Pier is doing, but i have put too
many pages in the wrong place.

Anyway i have created a help chapter, with some tips.  Please feel
free to correct or add more.

cheers,
Mike
