How I start a doc depends on the source:
- Doc360 port: I can usually copy over text and images fine. At the very least, I copy the text and then insert the photos one by one. Copy/pasting can cause formatting issues that are sometimes easier to avoid than fix
- PDF port: Transcribe the text in SublimeText or a similar program and then transfer that to KO. Any screenshots I try to label and organize so I can find them easily when importing as longer docs can get complicated
KO is friendly enough that I do most of the basics outside of code view. I generally wait until all of the text and images are in the doc before I begin creating divs, lists, links. Then I use code view to clean up any wonky formatting (I am just getting my feet wet with HTML, so this may not apply to you!).
Some other points to remember:
- We have been labeling images as "decorative" as alt text placeholders for images that don't need alt text.
- H tag sizes scale so that H3 is smaller than Paragraph size - this can be adjusted via code view
- I use the color coded divs for:
- Grey: sub section breaks and opening navigation links
- Blue: new section headings
- Yellow: callouts and notes
