This tutorial has been introduced to help members to more easily contribute to \\ the [[http://sdf.org/?tutorials|SDF Tutorials]] project. The SDF Tutorials utilize simple RCS Revision Control System. \\ The only downside is initially finding the folder location and reading the lengthy \\ README.TXT. By using this tutorial, you should be able to get started much quicker! \\ Please note, this tutorial is not meant to replace the main README.TXT and reading the main \\ README.TXT will provide a better understanding. More in-depth instructions for editing SDF \\ Tutorials can be found within the [[/tutorials/README.TXT|README.TXT]] (which can also be found on the shell at \\ /sys/html/tutorials/README.TXT).\\
Change your current directory to the tutorials directory.
\\ cd /sys/html/tutorials
Create an empty html file with a name of your choosing.
\\ touch new_filename.html
Change the permissions on the file so everyone can read it.
\\ chmod a+r filename.html
Check the file in and unlock it so everyone can edit it.
\\ ci -u new_filename.html
\\ Check to make sure file permissions are retained by RCS on check-out (co).\\ If they are not, and the permissions only show user readable still, \\ then chmod a+r RCS/filename.html,v directly so that the file can be read by readers of the webpage.\\ Next, edit the main index.html page to include the newly created file.\\
Whether after issuing the co command or simply editing a file within /sys/html/tutorials, \\ modifications can be viewed in real time with a browser over the internet. But remember, \\ changes will only be saved if you use co/ci properly! The tutorial server script generates \\ the page header and footer, so you only need to supply the content of the tutorial you plan to \\ post and the RCS $Id$ tag. You can use the following as a template:\\
No hotlinking of files from other sites: images must be uploaded to the /sys/html/tutorials/images folderWhen using images tags must be clearly defined.\\ Incorrect\\
