I bought Joe Workman’s excellent RW manual and worked through it, but it’s written for version 5 and much stuff isn’t applicable. This is part of the reason I recently got messed up with formatting text. So I went looking for newer stuff.
So far I found http://rapidweaverfaq.org/ and oh, just found https://weaver.tips/ but are there more good sites/books that people recommend? Something to keep me from cluttering up the forums with questions?
Hi @kentuckienne - there’s always the official RapidWeaver 7 manual PDF.
Sometimes projects require specific questions / advice, so feel free to ask around on these forums. You can always search to see if someone else had the same question as well.
We’re happy to help!
www.rapidweaverclassroom.com is good and has a section on RW 7. It’s very thorough and goes at a good pace (there are also lots of other topics to look through and it has a free trial). The community site has a host of tutorials as well.
Thanks …I do have that, but it’s a bit broad in scope. Looking for more details because I keep getting in trouble.
She has that one, wanted something more current than version 5.
A vast majority of that book is still relevant. But the screenshots are definitely out dated.
Yes, it’s a good book! I learned a lot from it. But I also got in trouble, by following the suggestion to control spacing by removing formatting and use the HTML tags … there seems to be some conflict in RW, where if text is treated as HTML and not as styled text, some of the formatting gets ignored. I went around and around trying to figure out why sometimes text I marked as bold would render as bold, and sometimes not. Same for italic, centering, etc. As far as I can tell, the best way to manage the appearance is to go through the RW styled text settings or use Markdown. I figured this was something that changed between version 5 and version 7, and you guys are just so expert that you don’t have to think about it.
