C H A P T E R 3 Organizing Your Presentation If the linked file is in a subfolder, separate the items in the path with a slash: Link to another note Note: You can also use backslashes and colons instead of slashes in file paths. See “Using Alternative Path Delimiters in Filenames” (page 50). So for example, the link “Show me the Tao” in the line Show me the Tao points to the note file “About Taoism.txt” inside the Notes folder. And the link “Confucius says” in the line Confucius says points to the note file “About Confucius” inside the “Social Philosophers” folder, which is inside the Notes folder. To create a link with a relative reference: In a note, type a link tag with a path starting in the folder that contains the note. A tag with a relative reference has a path starting with the name of a folder or file instead of a slash: enlightenment Link to another note In the first example, the link “enlightenment” points to the note “Show Me the Way” inside the same folder as the note with the link. In the second example, the link “Link to another note” points to the note “note.txt” inside the folder “subfolder,” which is inside the same folder as the note with the link. Note: If you use a relative reference, you can only link to notes in the folder that contains the original note, or in its subfolders. To link to a note in a folder outside the folder with the original note, you must use an absolute reference. Linking to a Folder You can link to any folder in the Notes folder or any of its subfolders. To create a link from a note to a folder: Create a link tag pointing to a folder, using the folder’s name. For example, the link tag in this anchor element Link to folder2 creates a link to the folder folder2, which is inside folder1, which is inside the Notes folder. When a user chooses the “Link to folder2” link, a list of notes and folders inside folder2 is displayed. You can link to the Notes folder itself using either of two link tag formats. The first uses the familiar root folder pathname format of a single slash, as in this example: Link to Notes folder 44 Organizing Your Content 2006-11-02 | © 2006 Apple Computer, Inc.

C H A P T E R 3 Organizing Your Presentation The second uses the uses the URI file scheme format, as in this example: Link to Notes folder Note that the file reference requires three slashes; the first two are the URI scheme separator and the third is the same root folder pathname as in the previous example. A backslash (\) could be used instead of the slash(/) as the root folder pathname. Linking to Media Files You can link from a note to photos and songs, to audio and video files, or to a playlist or other group of songs or videos. You can show an image when an audio file plays, and control whether the Now Playing menu shows while audio plays. Linking to Graphics As Cover Art Using iTunes, you can easily attach a graphic to an audio file as cover art. For details, see “Adding Metadata to a Media File”. The Notes feature automatically provides support for users to display such graphics by pressiing the Center button twice while the Now Playing screen is displayed. Linking to a Photo You can link to a photo in much the same way that you link to a folder. The photo must be stored in the JPEG file format (with the .jpg or .jpeg extension) in the Notes folder (the top folder in the Notes hierarchy). To link to a photo, create an anchor element with a link tag pointing to the filename of the JPEG file, as in these examples: Check Out the Grand Canyon! Check Out the Grand Canyon! When the link is clicked, the Notes feature automatically detects that the file is a photograph. It decodes the image, scales it (if necessary) to fit the iPod screen, and displays the image centered on a white background below the status bar. Linking to a Song or Other Audio File You can link to any song or other audio file on iPod. When a user chooses the link, the song plays. By default, the Now Playing screen appears when audio plays. (For instructions on setting iPod to continue displaying the note when a song plays, see “Setting iPod to Continue Displaying a Note When Playing Audio” (page 52).) To link to a song or audio file, first load the file onto your iPod using iTunes. Then in the note in which you want the link, create an anchor element with a link tag pointing to the song (see the example below). Linking to a song or audio file is similar to linking to folders and photos, except that you use the iTunes name instead of the file’s pathname.
