    <h2>Background</h2> <p>We need to develop a specialised CMS (internal use only) to support a technical writing team producing specialised long-form content for web (i.e. text with pictures, interactive features). To protect the writers from the nitty-gritty of web development (and to improve output consistency) we'd like to augment a regular WSIWYG html editor with parameterised placeholders for more specialised content (e.g. interactive page elements). The placeholders will be expanded into html/js/css/flash/etc by a seperate pre-publication process.</p> <p>Content generation is the raison d'etre of the business and productivity of the writers is paramount. If we go with a web-based CMS the writers will mutiny, I'm sure of it.</p> <h2>Wishlist</h2> <ul> <li>basic web development design surface</li> <li>cross-platform (mac/windows)</li> <li>source control integration</li> <li>ability to add/edit placeholders using a GUI</li> <li>ability to indicate placeholders on design surface</li> <li>ability to build our own reports into the UI (e.g. spell-check)</li> <li>offline editing (i.e. on a plane, at a trade-show)</li> </ul> <h2>Options so far</h2> <p>The likelihood of something being flexible enough out of the box is unlikely. So we'll most likely have to extend an existing product. To get offline capability and rock-solid editing we're thinking of extending a desktop app. Here are our options so far:</p> <ul> <li>Dreameaver CS4 (pros: familiar, cross-platform. cons: <a href="http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Dreamweaver/10.0_Extending/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d117f53d5f9f-7ffe.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">limited extension api</a>)</li> <li>Visual studio (pros: good extensibility. cons: intimidates writers, mac users will need VM)</li> </ul> <p>Please tell me I have more options than this!</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
