| 27 | Format commands control the structure and appearance of the collection. They affect such things as where buttons appear when a document is shown, and what links are displayed by the DateList classifier. Format commands are not easy to develop, and you should read Chapter 2 of the Greenstone Developer's Guide. This section discusses the format settings, and how the Librarian Interface gives access to them. Under "Design Sections", click "Format".

| 118 | You can apply a format command to anything in the "Choose Feature" pull-down list, which includes each classifier and a predefined list of features. When you select a feature, there are two types of control. Some features are simply enabled or disabled, and this is controlled by a checkbox. Others require a format string to be specified. For these there is a text area ("Edit Format String") for entering the string, a pull-down list ("Affected Component") for selecting which part of the feature the string applies to (if necessary), and a selection of predefined "Variables". To insert a variable into the current position in the format string, select it from the pull-down list and click "Insert".

| 121 | You can specify a default format for a particular component by selecting the blank feature. This format is then applied to all applicable features unless otherwise specified.
