Main structure of content documents
The main structure of a content document is
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 | \documentclass{...}
\begin{metainfo}
\name{...}
...
\end{metainfo}
\begin{content}
...
\end{content}
|
In general, as an author, you only need to do changes between
\begin{content} and \end{content}. Everything else will be configured and updated by
WebMiau automatically for you.
An exception is the \name{...} in the metainfos: If the document is used in a course this name is displayed in
the content tree of the course. It is not visible in the preview.
