Chapter 6: Further Reading and Postscript
From NvuTutoriaWiki
At this stage, you should have your first web page online, i.e. published to the web server and accessible by anyone connected to the internet. The methods employed in creating your first web page are the most basic ones. You can find out about the various features of Nvu from the Help Documentation. You can open the Help Documentation by clicking on Help > Help Contents. As Nvu Help documentation is maturing along with Nvu, you can install the latest Nvu Help source from NvuHelp project website.

Postscript
This tutorial, like my earlier article 15 Minute CaScadeS Guide, has come up due to lack of availability of introductory material for Nvu. New users, most of them who don't know that Nvu is based on Mozilla Composer, had nowhere to turn to for a tutorial like article. An article written for Nvu was basically the requirement. I hope this article will be useful enough for beginners.
It would be unethical for me to not thank the persons without whose help this article would not have been completed and been available in xpi form. Thanks to R.J.Keller and Daniel Glazman. Thanks is also due to the Nvu development team which has made Nvu, the true WYSIWYG editor, available for general users for all major operating systems.
The tutorial undergoes revisions and updates with introduction of new features in Nvu and user feedback. To have the latest version of the Nvu Tutorial extension, do not forget to check for new releases by clicking the "Update" button in the extension manager. As an alternative, you can visit the official Nvu Tutorial page.
