title: Basic

Main content:

<p>
The default basic Flexy article template can be used without or with custom fields and pullouts. No headlines are demonstrated here but they can be used too.
</p>
<h2>Why Use This Template?</h2>
<p><acronym title="Hypertext Markup Language">HTML</acronym> is the language that drives the Internet and I believe everyone should know the basics. It is quite simple and intuitive so if you use elements from this template you will soon learn how to present pleasant looking articles which function correctly on the Internet. All you need to do is decide which headings are appropriate or whether you want a list or paragraphs etc. Then just substitute your own text in the appropriate places.
</p><p>
Please follow the How To carefully, so you don't lose the template or your article. Credit is due to <acronym title="Textpattern">TXP</acronym> developer <a href="http://utterplush.com/txp-plugins/upm-savenew">Mary Fredborg</a> for the Save New button without which templates would be a hassle.
</p>
<h2>How To Use As A Template</h2>
<ol><li>
Go into the Content | Articles tab and select this article
</li><li>
Change the title (at the top)
</li><li>
Change the url-only title (bottom left)
</li><li>
Change the section (right side)
</li><li>
Click More and change the date (right side)
</li><li>
Click <strong>Save New</strong> and OK
</li><li>
In the Articles tab, you should now see your new document listed and the template should still be listed too with a different date and/or time. Return to your new article and you can now replace the dummy text with your own. The <acronym title="Hypertext Markup Language">HTML</acronym> elements start with something between the &lt; and &gt; and end with the same thing between the &lt;/ and &gt;. So you can copy and paste but be sure each element has a beginning and an end. <strong>Save</strong> regularly.
</li><li>
With the <strong>custom fields</strong>, if you are using Windows, use <kbd>Ctrl+A</kbd> to select all, <kbd>Ctrl+X</kbd> to cut, <kbd>Ctrl+C</kbd> to copy and <kbd>Ctrl+V</kbd> to paste. It is easier to work outside the custom field. Note that the <code>br</code> tag is a single tag that takes you onto the next line. The <code>img</code> tag is also a single tag, so is self-closing with /> at the end of it.
