This practical palette of examples is what I most often missed in
Tinderbox. Tinderbox proposes many great ways of presenting
information (maps, outlines, ...) and the team is apparently working
on implementing better drag'n'drop and imports; but I think such a
palette provided with the software would be of a great help to
everyone: time saving, and putting aside the technical aspects of
Tinderbox when in a hurry.
Some ideas for such a palette, I thought of:
- The templates should run on any Tinderbox file (use only System
Attributes, Users may add theirs to the templates),
- The palette should provide for each Tinderbox View Mode (Map,
OUtline, ...) an XTHML (or SVG) template,
even more, there could be a suite of templates that would
render a Tinderbox File as it's XHTML equivalent,
- The palette should provide templates that allow the translation of
a Tinderbox file into another file format (OPML, ...),
- The palette should provide some classic & clear Textual Pagination
templates.
This would also have the benefit to clearly state some
straightforward possibilities Tinderbox offers, (it would also show
what's not so easy to do with Tbx).
