YUMPU automatically turns print PDFs into web optimized ePapers that Google loves.

All attachments are saved in <strong>the</strong> web server directory twiki/pub. A<br />

separate folder is created for each web which, in turn, contains a<br />

folder for attached files.<br />

Let us now continue with <strong>the</strong> toolbar. There is not much to say<br />

about <strong>the</strong> function “Printable version:” When it is activated, all<br />

TWiki menu bars disappear, and you can print <strong>the</strong> page without all<br />

of <strong>the</strong> superfluous bordering elements.<br />

The option “Raw text” lets you have a look at <strong>the</strong> source text of a<br />

page without having to switch to edit mode. This is especially useful<br />

if you are not authorized to edit a topic but want to see how certain<br />

areas have been generated, and e.g. if you want to adopt <strong>the</strong>m with<br />

<strong>the</strong> copy & paste function.<br />

Via “More topic actions,” you can access a list of fur<strong>the</strong>r very useful<br />

functions:<br />

� Move to Trash: Here, you can delete <strong>the</strong> current page. The<br />

page is moved to <strong>the</strong> Trash web. If <strong>the</strong> topic name is already<br />

present <strong>the</strong>re, you must first rename it. When deleting, you will<br />

receive <strong>the</strong> option to update links to <strong>the</strong> page being deleted, so<br />

that <strong>the</strong>y will <strong>the</strong>n lead to <strong>the</strong> page in <strong>the</strong> Trash web. You can<br />

perform this update in <strong>the</strong> current web or in all public webs of<br />

<strong>the</strong> TWiki.<br />

� Rename or move topic: A similar procedure is used to move or<br />

rename topics, except of course that in <strong>the</strong>se cases, you would<br />

not select <strong>the</strong> Trash web. Here, too, you can have <strong>the</strong> links be<br />

automatically updated.<br />

� Back-links (Ref-by): This function generates an alphabetical<br />

list of all links that lead to <strong>the</strong> current page.<br />

� Child topics in Main Web: Lists all pages in <strong>the</strong> current web<br />

(in this case Main), that were generated from this page.<br />

� Set new topic parent: The parent page is actually <strong>the</strong> one from<br />

which ano<strong>the</strong>r page is generated. Since it is indicated in <strong>the</strong><br />

footer of <strong>the</strong> page as a path, it is sometimes necessary to change<br />

it for organizational purposes.<br />

� View previous topic revision: If you know <strong>the</strong> number of a revision<br />

you are interested in, you can directly search for it here<br />

and have it displayed in <strong>the</strong> page view or source text. For older<br />

versions, however, <strong>the</strong>re is nei<strong>the</strong>r an edit nor a save option.<br />

Thus, you can no longer modify <strong>the</strong> page.<br />
