This brief tutorial should have enabled you to make a start on creating your own exercises right now. However, there is a lot more to learn if you really want to get the most out of Hot Potatoes. The online context-sensitive help should answer most of your questions as you begin to experiment. Each program has a range of different configuration options, so take the time to look through them all. You'll find that all of these things can be configured:
- Background graphic
- Hint, Help and Navigation buttons
- Button captions
- Welcome message and instructions
- Case-sensitivity
- ...and more...
The Hot Potatoes suite supports the use of accented characters, so you can set up your configuration in any language using the Roman character set (such as French, German, Danish, Dutch and many others). Version 3 now includes tools for inserting graphics and links into your pages. And if you get really ambitious, you can even edit the source files used as templates to create the exercises, changing the whole appearance and even the functionality of the Web pages you produce. See the online help for more information on this.
That's it folks! Thanks for reading.
