Options (Offline MW Text Editor)

Like the normal MediaWiki text editing box, the Offline Editor has all the standard options with one extra added (high-lighted in red). The high-lighed option will let you pick an image from your hard-drive, copy it to the programs image folder and then add the [[Image:pic_name.gif]] tag to your article.

A note about displaying images, period.
When you use the [[Image:pic_name.gif]] tag, the Offline Editor will check the programs Image folder to see if there is a pic in there to display. If there is an image, your image will apear, and if not you get "the red X".

While you are creating your article you can click the "HTML" button to view your text as a web page.

Open

"Open" will load a text file into the main text field and then you can edit your article.

Save

"Save" will save your current work to a text file.

Options

For now there are four options to choose from.

Program Settings

Theres two options in the Program Settings window.

.CSS

If you download the .css file (/skins/'Custom_Skin'/main.css) from your wiki and save it to your hard-drive it can be used for displaying articles in the HTML window. If you do not select a file, the Offline Editor will use MediaWiki default css file.

Thumbnail Size

By default the Offline Editor will use 300, change this to what ever you are using in your Wiki.

Export to XML

This will let you save your article to an XML file which can then be imported to your wiki via the Special:Import link.

Open Image Folder

This is the folder which the Offline Editor will use to display images from.

HTML

Same as the HTML button at the top of the program, this will display your article text in html form.

Help

Will take you to the AWC site :)
