Course Objectives

	When you are at the UNIX prompt:

Using EMACS, create 3 files:

labreport.html
glossary.html
yourlastname.html

 How? 

	Useful UNIX commands to memorize

cd				move to my root dir
cd ..				move to the dir just above this one
dir				show dir of files (names with / are sub-dirs)
mkdir www			make a sub-dir called www
mv file1 www			move file1 from this dir into the www dir
mv labre.html labreport.html	change the name of labre.html to labreport.html
mv * www/instructor		move all files from this dir into the
				instructor dir
mv  *.html ..			move all files in this dir that end in
				.html to the dir above this one
mv ~/www/instructor/* .		move all files in the instructor
				sub-dir to this dir
rm tempura.html			remove (delete) file tempura.html
				(answer y to prompt)
rm * .				remove (delete) all files in this dir
cp labreport.html home-wk3	copy the contents of my labreport.html
				file to a new file called home-wk3
cp ~/www/rtf/*.zip ~/bin	copy all files in the rtf sub-dir
				which end in zip and place copies in the bin su					b-dir
more glossary.html		display this file with SPACE BAR
				brakes (/ to search string in the file)
				       (q to stop display)
chmod 755 * .			give read permission to all files in
				this dir	
chmod 755 o-w me.html		remove read permission from file me.html
C-z				(control z) stop, exit to UNIX (type fg
				to get back)

Your Lab Report File			40 points

Grading scale:

 A=100-85   B=84-70   C=69-51    F=50-

	Penalties
Each class absence (for any cause) = -4 points (1 grace absence
given).  Being late = -1 point.  Being behind in weekly tasks = -3
points for each week late.

1. Making 10 valid entries in the Taxonomic Inventory = 5 points

   (for significantly influencing the flow of information in the cyberspace learning community)
8. Receiving the Cyberspace Friendly Nerd Award = 5 points
   (for regularly helping others with their technical problems)

To start the Lynx browser, type lynx at the UNIX prompt.  This takes
you to the HCC Home Page.  The following commands are frequently used:

q		quit lynx, back to UNIX
SPACE BAR	show next screen
b or -		show previous screen
=		show information page with file name and link name
\		show source page with html formatting
/		search for a string within the document on the screen
RETURN		go to the link that is highlighted
u		go up (or back) one link (from where you came from)
DELETE		(delete key) show history of links traveled (hot)
v		view your bookmark
a then l	add this link to my bookmark
o		(options) add numbering to your screen links
arrows		hot (see bottom of screen for instructions)

What does one populate one's Home Page with?
	** Anything you can scan into a file such as pictures,
	drawings, maps, videos, audio recordings, your writings, others'
	writings, descriptions of places to go to with active links, etc.

  Using the EMACS Editor 
  
Starting EMACS
At UNIX prompt:
1) emacs labreport.html   (means: open emacs with that file or create it)
	Now type your entry
2) C-x C-c (answer yes) (this saves it and quits emacs)
You can then repeat this for the other two files (glossary.html and yournalstname.html).
WARNING  It was discovered by Mr.Bogan and others that the
procedures for IBMs is slightly different.  See Bogan's Help files.

	EMACS File ManagementCommands

Drawing a Picture in EMACS

Switch to DRAW mode                        ESC-x edit-picture RETURN                  
Switch back to TEXT mode                   C-c C-c                                    
Step 1: choose direction

North East (NE) (right up)                 C-c ' (apostrophe)                         
East (E) (right)                           C-c > (greater than)                       
South East (SE) (down right)               C-c \ (back slash)                         
South (S) (straight down)                  C-c . (period)

West (W) (left)                            C-c < (less than)                          
North West (NW) (up left)                  C-c ` (above the TAB key)                  
Step 2: type any character (repeatedly)                                        

2)Check your entry formatting using html marks (remember how?).
Be sure to add two kinds of LINKS: name links and href links. Name links should be created to every paragraph or other significant segment of text or entry. You can also create name links in the middle of a sentence, anchored to single word, or phrase.

Remember this: The more name anchors you provide to your entries, the more it is possible for others to comment specifically on something you've written or designed. The more occasions to link to your entries, the more they can be enriched by others.

You might want to use some way of showing browsers that there is a name anchor there. But even if you don't, by simply pressing the \ (backslash) key, you can suddenly see the html marks, and whether there is an anchor name there you can use to which you can make a link from your own document. (But to find the right screen, you need to use the / (regular slash) command, remember?

3)Test all your links to be sure they work. Quit emacs and go into lynx, then test your new entries to see if they work properly. Sometimes an extra space or a missing quotation sign is hard to spot! Go back and forth between emacs and lynx until you know that all your new links work as you want them to.

4)Similarly, create links between your entry and other people's Lab Report or Comments. The more links you make that are really relevant, the better.

5)Throughout the semester, continue to add links to your entries as you encounter new stuff that is related to it. This is important!

Formatting HTML documents and Making links

Try this now:

First look at the 2 steps before trying it:
Step 1: Press the \ key (back slash) and the text will change showing html formatting code. You'll be at the top of the document.
Step 2: To get to the screen you're presently at, type / (regular slash), then type in some text from this paragraph, e.g., Try this now: You will then be at the back of the right screen. To get back, press the \ key again. By repeatedly pressing the \ key, and finding the corresponding screen you are looking at, you can learn a lot about how to produce certain effects in hrml code. Now go ahead and try Steps 1 and 2.

(Note: In the following examples, a * (asterisk) will be used where a lesser than, or greater than, sign is needed in order to block its showing. To make it run in lynx, copy the example into a new temporary emacs file, replace the * with the lesser and greater sign using the search and replace command (first, the lesser than sign, then the greater than sign. You can then view it in Lynx.) Here is the example:

*title* My Lab Report in Psych 409 */title*

*a name="week2"* *h1* My Second Week */h1* */a*

Here you type in your report using paragraph separators. This is paragraph one. *p*

Here is some text from paragraph two: " ...and this is a big improvement on my *a href="#week1"* first week. */a* Can you believe it folks? It's just amazing!" In this example, the words "first week" will be highlighted as a link. Pressing RETURN there would bring up your First Week entry in the same file. After reading it, pressing u will return you to your paragraph here where you made the link. The word "believe" is marked with a *b* (bold) code and the word "amazing" is marked with a *em* (emphasis) code. To make a numbered list:

*ol*
*li*Week 1
*li*Week 2
*li*Week 3
*/ol*

When you replace the * with the less than or greater than sign, this will execute as follows:

1. Week 1
2. Week 2
3. Week 3

*dl*
*dt*Week 5
	*dl*
	*dt* Navigation
	*dt* Resources
	*dt* Plans
	*/dl*
When you replace the * with the less than or greater than sign, this will execute as follows:

Week 5

Navigation

Resources

Plans

Note that you need to mark the place you want a break (new line) by typing *br* or *p* (where the * should normally be less than or greater than sign don't forget!)

Now here is a typical session in 10 steps which can be varied in many ways. Be sure to discuss the meaning of these steps and commands with others.

1. % cd www (at UNIX prompt change to www dir)
2. dir (show dir of files)
3. emacs labreport.html (call up your labreport.html file in emacs)
4. ESC-> (move cursor to the end of the document)
5. Type your entries using HTML formatting
6. Add anchor names and internal and external links
7. C-x C-c, yes save (saves your document and quits emacs)
8. %lynx, v, 409 HP, Lab Reports, yours (test out the links)
9. Switch between Lynx and emacs until all problems are fixed

Subject: HTML basics

Hi folks,

Made this up for Jan, and am passing it along to you all...
At the bottom are some samples. (sorry for the length!)

HTML INSTRUCTIONS:

Basically you enter your text in a normal TEXT EDITOR, and then put the 
following  in the text to turn it into HTML.

#1 Use small letters for all your  AND MORE IMPORTANTLY, for all
   your ".htm" and graphics references.

#2 Use ".htm" instead of ".html" while working on your PC
    I've made a conversion script the change these once you download to
    the UNIX server.  Your text editor should read these OK.

#3 Optional - Get ahold of NETSCAPE for windows for your testing.
   This is optional, but otherwise you'll be doing it semi-blindly.


Some basic codes: Codes are placed in brakets 
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Headings:
	
Makes a large HEADING

	
Makes a smaller Heading
	
Makes the next smaller Heading
	
Makes the next smaller Heading
	
Makes the smallest Heading

# The "/" terminations must be there
           or all the following fonts will be affected
(If your fonts are all screwy, check to ensure the '/' codes are included.)
-------------------------------------------------------------------

	BOLD
	Italics
        Centers text and/or graphics

---------------------------------------------------------------------
To terminate a paragraph:

 - Use 
 at the end of the paragraph to end the paragraph and leave a 
space between this and the next paragraph... or


 - Use 
 at the end of the paragraph to end the paragraph and leave  
NO space between this and the next paragraph.

!! If you don't terminate a paragraph with 
 or 
, it will run on
to the next line !!

## You do not need to use a 
 or 
 to terminate the 
 and 
 
commands.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
To change paragraph font sizes in a paragraph:

	Prints the next normal size font, etc.

	Prints the next smaller normal size font, etc.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
To make a line:

 - Use 
 to make a line across the page. (No "/hr" needed).

------------------------------------------------------------------------
## A typical LINK reference looks like this:

Heaven and Hell

The href="paper1.htm" is the document which you want to go to.
The text between the ">  <" is what you can use to select the link.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
## A typical GRAPHICS designator looks like this:



## The graphics will be able to go in the middle of a paragraph if you 
wish (in-line graphics) and acts LIKE a paragraph.  You'll need to
terminate the graphic with a 
 or 
 if you don't want it to
run on to the next line.

## Align='top' aligns the graphic to the text.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
If you just want the page to show up AS IT IS PRINTED use:


text         text
text         text
text         text                   more text




("pre" = preformated - will print EXACTLY as shown)

!! This is the quickest way to get your documents on line, you can
do some of the fancy stuff later.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
General set up stuff:

Always use the following in your .htm documents:
(*title* is not seen; it's used for an application header)

++++++++++ Header (this line not neded) ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++


*title* ## Place TITLE here ## */title*




## BODY TEXT ##


+++++++++++ Footer (line not needed) +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

## ADDRESS INFO ##


	


## Notice the "/" terminations.

"Nothing unconnected ever occurs ..."   -- Emanuel Swedenborg (AC 2556)

You will be creating two types of links in all your documents and entries, repeatedly, throughout the semester. So you'll learn quickly how to do it!

A name link is called an anchor because it anchors or tags your text or entry so that you and others can link to it. For example, I am putting a name link at the beginning of this paragraph. You can't see it on the front screen, but you can see it on the back by pressing \ and then / and searching for the string "A name link is called". You will then see the html source paragraph for this one. Note the anchor I've placed there. It looks like this:
*a name="namelinkillustration"**/a*
But of course, instead of *, there is the lesser than and greater than sign.

An href link is the actual trigger point: pressing RETURN on it sends you to the target anchor marked by the name link. For instance, if I wanted to catapult you from here to the top section of this syllabus, I would type this:

*a href="#topofsyl"*Back to the top.*/a*
Of course, the * sign would be instead the less than or greater than sign. Try it: (you can come back here by typing u)
Back to the top.

While reading other people's lab reports and comments, you come across
places you wish to make a comment.  Procedure:

1. Open your labreport.html file in emacs and type in your comment
entry at the end of the file.
2. Create the appropriate link to the text
that you are commenting on.
3. You can make several links to your comment.  In fact, the more
links you make, the more likely it is for people to see it.

What kind of comments?  Not any kind, please!  It
might help to consider three things: (1)This is a learning
community in a university setting. (educational purpose)
(2)Your entries are on the stage of the world wide web!
(public).  (3)A valuable comment is one that shows others a
new, revealing angle on some topic being discussed.

Glossary Entries

Your glossary.html file is the place for making all your weekly
entries.  Procedure:
(1)Enter some new terms or expressions, every week.
(2)Update some old entries by typing in your current version.
Please do not erase or edit old entries:  just make new, revised
entries, placing the new underneath the old.  In this way we can
see the progression in your understanding!
(3)Make internal links within the glossary.html file, if
appropriate.  Make external links between your glossary entry and
those of others.  This should give readers the maximum benefit.

What kind of comments?  Those that you care about...
Because the are:
		** important to you
		** valuable to others
		** interesting to you
		** revealing to all
How long should the comments be?  Long enough to be of use to readers,
short enough to be convenient.

More Instructions> on how to navigate hypertext documents.

*** Procedures to Use for Your First Week:

Step 1:

Obtain your student UNIX account in Keller 204. Walk into the MacLab or IBM Lab (two rooms over) and familiarize yourself with procedures (ask attendants where is the room where you can find written handouts for using UNIX). Study these. Come back in 48 hours, and again the next day, to check if your account has been activated.

Step 2:

Logon to your UNIX account. At the UNIX prompt type this:

lynx www.soc.hawaii.edu/con/leonpsy/leon.html

Note: If it doesn't work try again after checking your spelling. In the above command there is only one space, after the x. There is a dot (.) after w,c,i, and between leon and html. If it works, you'll taken to the Instructor's Home Page on the World Wide Web.

Step 3:

Move around and explore this way (nothing bad can happen no matter what you do!):

** up and down arrows move you from one link to another on the screen. You can see a link by the words that are highlighted (reverse video).

** RETURN or ENTER activates the link that is highlighted and brings you there.

** type u (for "up") to go back one link recursively through all the links you've traversed

** press SPACEBAR to advance one screen at a time

** press b (for "back") or press - (hyphen) to go back one screen

How to examine World Wide Web Documents

Step 1:

First, navigate global. That is, use SPACEBAR and b (or -) to browse through the main headings of the document. Notice the sub-headings and where the links are (highlighted words in reverse video).

Step 2:

(a) Go back to screen one and navigate one depth. That is, press RETURN on the first link.

(b) Browse through the document, noticing the links and sub-headings. When done, press u to go back to the original document.

(c) Now arrow down to the second link and press RETURN. Browse through, then press u to go back.

(d) Now arrow down to the third link and do the same.

(e) When you've explored all the links at the first depth, repeat the whole operation with depth 2, 3, or as many as there are.

Step 3:

Go anywhere and browse anything in all possible orders, or as you feel like. Especially recommended: From the Instructor's Home Page (the original document), select the Psych 409 link to go to the Psych 409 Home Page. Now select the Syllabus and study it over and over. New information gets added to it throughout the semester. Use it as a reference for how to do things.
