Using the XML tags of the tasks.xml file
To add to or change the content of the How Do I panel, you must add or change XML tags in the Tasks.xml file. You use three tags to create the content of the Tasks.xml file:
- The
taskstag groups the set of tasks being defined under an identifier. - The
categorytag groups related tasks under a heading, such as "Get Started". - The
tasktag specifies the name of a task, such as "Connect to a website", and is a link to the page that explains how to accomplish the task.
The following excerpt from the Tasks.xml file shows the relationship between these tags.
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<tasks id="tasks">
<category name="Get started" id="0">
<task name="Contribute tutorial" file="task2.htm" id="1"/>
<task name="Connect to a website" file="task14.htm" id="2"/>
<task name="Navigate to my web pages" file="task17.htm" id="3"/>
<task name="Edit a page on my website" file="task18.htm" id="4"/>
<task name="Become a website administrator" file="task19.htm" id="5"/>
</category>
...
</tasks>
The following entries describe each of these tags in more detail:
