Your task is to plan a day program for a tourist coming to Helsinki and present your program as an HTML page (or several). Your program may include sightseeing, concerts, restaurant recommendations etc., whatever you like.
You can find some relevant information on the following pages (also in English):
Some Helsinki-photos can be found in the picture gallery of the city:
http://www.hel.fi/tourism/html/english/kuvagalleria/
Some photos also on this page.
Start Netcape (icon).
If you don't have a "public_html" -directory, create one: mkdir public_html
Open in the public_html directory a new file using e.g. xemacs: xemacs helsinki.html &
The editor asks you the title of the document and after that shows a skeleton of an HTML document. You can now add HTML elements, e.g., titles, paragraphs and lists. You can find examples in the: course material. It is probably practical to open the course material into a new window: Choose in Netscape from the File menu the alternative "Open Page". (URL: http://www.cs.helsinki.fi/u/hahonen/dimes00/sisalto/html/)
You can easily view your document on a Netscape window by choosing from the xemacs HTML menu the alternative "View in Netscape".
Search for tourist information using the links given or use your own imagination.
You can copy text from web pages with the mouse: paint the text using the left button of the mouse, move the mouse to a place in your text and click the middle button.
If you want to copy an image, click the right button
on the image, and choose from the menu the alternative
"Save Image As...", which lets you save the image into a file.
If the image looks too large, you can make it smaller using
the attributes width and
height, e.g.,
<img src="kuva.jpg" width="70%"
height="70%">
If you want to see, how some HTML page has been coded, you can click the right button on the page and choose the alternative "View Page Source". If the page has been implemented using frames, the alternative is "View Frame Source".
Give the proper access rights for you files: chmod o+r helsinki.html
