Subject: [FM Discuss] flossmanuals editor: option to add <kbd>,
 and <span>s /<div>s with classes?
Message-ID: <d95ea8e0-781d-451a-543d-8303be39b982@goos-habermann.de>

Hi :),

with a couple of volunteers, we have started work on a Beginners' Guide
for Inkscape some weeks ago.

Now that most of the text is translated and near-ready, we're looking
into styling options, and I found that some useful things are missing
from the GUI editor that flossmanuals.fr has. Thus, I think this is
probably a settings thing that can be changed.

The only text-span related html tags that seem to be available for
adding via the editor seem to be <pre>, <address> and <blockquote>.

I hesitate to abuse them for our purposes, as they have an inherent,
different meaning (but we don't have any code, addresses or quotations
in the book at all).

What we would find helpful (and what I suspect others would like to have
for their books, too) would be:

- <kbd> for keyboard shortcuts
- a <div> with a class, for some 'hints'/'tips'/'special notes'/'extra
info' type of contents
- some kind of <span> tag that can be used for designating labels in the
software, e.g. button labels, menu entries, dialog names etc.
- (<figure> with <figcaption> would be great, but not sure if it could
be made to work with the renderers and with the file storage - how have
others solved the issue of not being able to add a visible caption to
their images?)

Would it be possible to add something like these (or something that is
equivalent) to the editor?

Or perhaps does anyone have a suggestion how else this could be
accomplished consistently throughout a book?

Thank you for any help you can give us!

Kind Regards,
 Maren
