To start customizing, choose the “Presentation” link on the menu bar Themes that are already available are just a click away.

Created in 1990 by Tim Berners- Lee, the web quickly became the most used hypertext system in the world, and most browsers default to indicating hyperlinks with an underline. To answer the question of why the underline was chosen over competing demarcation techniques, the thesis applies the methods of history of technology and sociology of technology. Before the invention of the web, the underline–also known as the vinculum–was used in many contexts in writing systems; collecting entities together to form a whole and ascribing additional meaning to the content.

  • Summary of March 12, 2013 FTC Guide, “Dot Com Disclosures” by Susan D
    Originally published in the American Advertising Federation Phoenix Chapter Newsletter (June 2013) Summary of March 12, 2013 FTC Guide, “Dot Com Disclosures” By Susan D. Brienza, Attorney at Ryley Carlock & Applewhite “Although online commerce (including mobile and social media marketing) is booming, deception can dampen consumer confidence in the online marketplace.” Conclusion of new FTC Guide on Disclosures The Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) has broad powers to regulate and monitor all advertisements for goods and services (with the exception of a few industries such as banking and aviation)— advertisements in any medium whatsoever, including Internet and social media promotions. Under long-standing FTC statutes, regulations and policy, all marketing claims must be true, accurate, not misleading or deceptive, and supported by sound scientific or factual research. Often, in order to “cure” a potentially deceptive claim, a disclaimer or a disclosure is required, e.g., “The following blogs are paid reviews.” Recently, on March 12, 2013, the Federal Trade Commission published a revised version of its 2000 guide known as Dot Com Disclosures, after a two-year process. The new FTC staff guidance, .com Disclosures: How to Make Effective Disclosures in Digital Advertising, “takes into account the expanding use of smartphones with small screens and the rise of social media marketing. It also contains mock ads that illustrate the updated principles.” See the FTC’s press release regarding its Dot Com Disclosures guidance: http://www.ftc.gov/opa/2013/03/dotcom.shtm and the 53-page guide itself at http://ftc.gov/os/2013/03/130312dotcomdisclosures.pdf . I noted with some amusement that the FTC ends this press release and others with: “Like the FTC on Facebook, follow us on Twitter.

  • UI Manager Properties
    APPENDIX A UI Manager Properties THROUGHOUT THIS BOOK YOU'LL FIND TABLES that list the property names and data types for all the UIResource elements of specific Swing components. Although these tables serve to list all the information about a specific component, I fig­ ured it would be handy to also group all the information about property names in one place. With that in mind, Table A-1 provides a complete list of properties used by the predefined look and feel classes-Motif, Macintosh, Metal, and Windows­ provided with the Swing 1.1.1 release. The table indicates with an "X" which of the four look and feel classes uses a particular property. To change the default setting for any one of these properties, you need to notify the UIManager by storing a new setting in the lookup table of the UIManager. For instance, to change the default text for the "Yes" button on a JOptionPane, 11 you'd replace the 0ptionPane. yesButtonText II property with the new setting 11 11 UIManager. put ( 0ptionPane. yesButtonTextll, Si II);. Then, any component cre­ ated after the setting change will get the new value: 11 5i 11 .1fyou want a displayed component to get the new setting, you must call its updateUI () method. When you change the current look and feel, any custom settings you install may be lost. If the class of the property value setting implements the UIResource interface (an empty marker interface such as Serializable), then the setting will be replaced by the default setting of the look and feel.

  • Translate's Localization Guide
    Translate’s Localization Guide Release 0.9.0 Translate Jun 26, 2020 Contents 1 Localisation Guide 1 2 Glossary 191 3 Language Information 195 i ii CHAPTER 1 Localisation Guide The general aim of this document is not to replace other well written works but to draw them together. So for instance the section on projects contains information that should help you get started and point you to the documents that are often hard to find. The section of translation should provide a general enough overview of common mistakes and pitfalls. We have found the localisation community very fragmented and hope that through this document we can bring people together and unify information that is out there but in many many different places. The one section that we feel is unique is the guide to developers – they make assumptions about localisation without fully understanding the implications, we complain but honestly there is not one place that can help give a developer and overview of what is needed from them, we hope that the developer section goes a long way to solving that issue. 1.1 Purpose The purpose of this document is to provide one reference for localisers. You will find lots of information on localising and packaging on the web but not a single resource that can guide you. Most of the information is also domain specific ie it addresses KDE, Mozilla, etc. We hope that this is more general. This document also goes beyond the technical aspects of localisation which seems to be the domain of other lo- calisation documents.

  • Hyperlinks and Bookmarks with ODS RTF Scott Osowski, PPD, Inc, Wilmington, NC Thomas Fritchey, PPD, Inc, Wilmington, NC
    Paper TT21 Hyperlinks and Bookmarks with ODS RTF Scott Osowski, PPD, Inc, Wilmington, NC Thomas Fritchey, PPD, Inc, Wilmington, NC ABSTRACT The ODS RTF output destination in the SAS® System opens up a world of formatting and stylistic enhancements for your output. Furthermore, it allows you to use hyperlinks to navigate both within a document and to external files. Using the STYLE option in the REPORT procedure is one way of accomplishing this goal and has been demonstrated in previous publications. In contrast, this paper demonstrates a new and more flexible approach to creating hyperlinks and bookmarks using embedded RTF control words, PROC REPORT, and the ODS RTF destination. INTRODUCTION The ODS RTF output destination in SAS allows you to customize output in the popular file Rich Text Format (RTF). This paper demonstrates one approach to using the navigational options available in RTF files from PROC REPORT by illustrating its application in two examples, a data listing and an item 11 data definition table (DDT). Detailed approaches using the STYLE option available within PROC REPORT are widely known and have been well documented. These approaches are great if you want the entire contents of selected cells designated as external hyperlinks. However, the approach outlined in this paper allows you to have multiple internal and/or external hyperlinks embedded in any text in the report and offers options not available when using the style statement. This flexibility does come with a price, as the code necessary is lengthier than the alternative. It’s up to you to decide which method is right for your output.

  • Web Template Extraction Based on Hyperlink Analysis
    Web Template Extraction Based on Hyperlink Analysis Julian´ Alarte David Insa Josep Silva Departamento de Sistemas Informaticos´ y Computacion´ Universitat Politecnica` de Valencia,` Valencia, Spain [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] Salvador Tamarit Babel Research Group Universidad Politecnica´ de Madrid, Madrid, Spain [email protected] Web templates are one of the main development resources for website engineers. Templates allow them to increase productivity by plugin content into already formatted and prepared pagelets. For the final user templates are also useful, because they provide uniformity and a common look and feel for all webpages. However, from the point of view of crawlers and indexers, templates are an important problem, because templates usually contain irrelevant information such as advertisements, menus, and banners. Processing and storing this information is likely to lead to a waste of resources (storage space, bandwidth, etc.). It has been measured that templates represent between 40% and 50% of data on the Web. Therefore, identifying templates is essential for indexing tasks. In this work we propose a novel method for automatic template extraction that is based on similarity analysis between the DOM trees of a collection of webpages that are detected using menus information. Our implementation and experiments demonstrate the usefulness of the technique. 1 Introduction A web template (in the following just template) is a prepared HTML page where formatting is already implemented and visual components are ready so that we can insert content into them. Templates are used as a basis for composing new webpages that share a common look and feel.
