Create a media document (image, audio or pdf file)

It's easy to use audio content within the generic problem framework. At the moment only mp3 (mpeg 2 layer 3) files are supported.

For a guide how to use media files in your content, see the guide on media.

In a similar way as for the creation of documents, one can create subdirectories:

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.
