Commentpress

0 If you’re unfamiliar with the Commentpress interface, the following should help you navigate your way around a Commentpress edition.

0
Edition Title

0 The Edition Title is also a link to the edition’s home page.

0
Page Title

0 Each page will display its title here. If the page is contained within a chapter or section, this context will also be shown here. Navigate your way through pages in a linear way using the next and previous page buttons:

0
Next Page Button

0
Previous Page Button

0 If at any time you get lost, or want to jump to a specific page, the Table of Contents is always available to you by clicking the open book icon shown below. If you have Javascript enabled, the Table of Contents should slide down from the menu bar. If Javascript is not enabled, this will take you to the edition’s home page where you will find the Table of Contents in the right-hand column.

0
Table of Contents Button

0 The following buttons all take you to special Commentpress pages:

0
General Comments Button

0 Perhaps your comment does not really apply to a particular page or paragraph? The General Comments page is there so that you can leave comments which are global in scope or reference.

0
All Comments Button

0 As you can guess, the All Comments page shows a list of pages that have comments on them, ranked by number of comments. With Javascript enabled, you’ll have to click on the title of the page to view the comments. Each comment has a link so that you can view it in its original page context.

0
Comments-by-Commenter Button

0 The Comments-by-Commenter page is similar to the All Comments page, but (you guessed it) comments are listed by comment author.

0
Blog Button

0 The Commentpress edition’s blog is accessed by clicking the button shown above. In general, Commentpress editions are likely to be completed works — the blog allows the author a continuing voice without disturbing the layout of the edition itself. Where the edition is still in progress, the blog allows content to be published that does not sit comfortably within the edition itself — announcements, for example.

0 If you are on a page (or blog post) which allows paragraph-level commenting, then you will see icons like those below down the left-hand side of the page:

0
Paragraph Icons

0 Clicking one of these icons when Javascript is enabled will open the corresponding comments section in the right-hand column. If the columns are tall enough to scroll, they should scroll so that they are aligned together. Paragraph icons are also links which can be used as permalinks to a paragraph. Here’s an example link to a video on another page on this site.
