LearnPress + Prince = Multiformat Agendas!
You can use an agendas microformat in LearnPress to create agendas and related handouts for workshops and meetings that can be previewed on the web, delivered electronically as PDF, or printed.
A suggested model is the NC History Digital Textbook Advisory Board Meeting agenda (web, PDF, edit).
Put the date and location in the summary field. Separate with line breaks (<br />) — the summary field does not accept block-level formatting.
Any introductory or explanatory text may be typed as usual at the top of the page.
Format the agenda as a definition list with class “agenda” (<dl class="agenda">). (See “Definition lists.”)
Format each agenda item as a dt/dd pair, with the time and title in the dt and the description in the dd. Wrap the time in <span class="time"> to make it appear in a left-hand column.
The explanation (dd) may include block-level formatting (such as multiple paragraphs or lists). See the sample agenda linked above for an example.
For example, this code
<dl class="agenda">
<dt><span class=”time”>9:00</span> Vision</dt>
<dd>What’s a “digital textbook”? Why do we want to create one? Considering existing textbooks and websites and what LEARN NC has already created, we’ll present our vision for the project to start the discussion rolling. </dd>
</dl>
produces the following agenda item:
While the agenda is in progress, the URL of the page may be distributed to attendees or speakers if desired. No login is required for view of the public page. (In the future, a LearnPress account or guest login will be required to view draft pages.) When the agenda is complete, mark it public but not shared, so that it is accessible via direct link but not through any search functionality of the public website.
When the agenda is complete, use the Publish to PDF function to format for print. Select template handout and stylesheet handout.css. Review the PDF. When it is ready for distribution, check Make PDF public, and the PDF will be linked from the sidebar of the public page.
