Corresponding folder: none Corresponding folder: casestudies Corresponding folder: slides Corresponding folder: pictures Corresponding folder: bookscat/samples - this is the normal folder for sample chapters. The single file that is displayed normally as the sample is named by the isbn. Additional files can also be added and will be displayed in this section. They can have any name eg the normal Production naming convention or following the guidelines above to make them appear in a particular order. Corresponding folder: bh.com/manualsprotected These files are stored in a separate folder structure because they require password access. If this tag is included in the companion, then instructions appear on the page for accessing the tutor material. Corresponding folder: exercises Corresponding folder: solutions Corresponding folder: revisionnotes Corresponding folder: appendices If these are actual appendices from the book they may alternatively be in bookscat/samples as pdf files, along with any other sample chapters. Corresponding folder: glossary May be superceded by a database eventually Corresponding folder: none Details should be in the text of the tag. Corresponding folder: none Links should be in the text of the tag exactly as html. If a separate page(s) of links is needed, then these should be stored as files in one of the other folders, whichever seems most appropriate. Corresponding folder: software A limitation of this system is that within each section all the text that appears inside a certain tag will appear first, followed by the files and folders stored in the associated folder. You cannot intersperse links to files with descriptive text within a section. A quick way to check if this file is valid is to open it directly in Internet Explorer 5 or above. If it is valid the complete file will be displayed with the tags picked out in colour. If it isn't valid it will display an error message, which is usually quite helpful. If you have trouble creating intro.xml, concentrate on getting the other files into the correct folders and providing text for each of the sections that is being used in a text file. If the author provides text for the site, make sure that it can be broken up into these sections. Check that all files mentioned in the text are in fact available.
