    33---+ The Go Box as a browser 
    44 
    5 The go box (also called jump box) is not only a tool to allow you to jump from page to page, you can use the Go Box to search for documents.  If you do not know the entire name of the Foswiki topic you are looking, partially putting in the topic name in the GoBox will result in a literal search in the Foswiki topics.

    33---+ Re-parenting a topic 
    44 
    5 The breadcrumb displayed with a particular Foswiki topic is constructed with a topic's *Parent*. On the footer to each page there is a link called *More*.  Within this page there is a topic action that will allow you to select a new parent for the page.  
     5The breadcrumbs ([[Contribs]] &gt; [[TipsContrib]] &gt; [[TipsOfTheDay]], for example) of any topic is constructed automatically in Foswiki by following the set topic parent. In the footer of a topic viewed with the default PatternSkin is a *More topic actions* link which will allow you to select a new parent for the page.

    33---+ Linking to a file attachment 
    44 
    5 One can create a link to a file attachment using one of the =%<nop>ATTACHURL%= or =%<nop>PUBURL%= macros. 
    6  
    7 =%<nop>ATTACHURL%= is the full URL for attachments in the current topic. For example: 
    8  
    9 =%<nop>ATTACHURL%/image.gif= 
    10  
    11 To link to a file attachment in another topic, use the =%<nop>PUBURL%= macro.  For example: 
    12  
    13 =%<nop>PUBURL%/%<nop>WEB%/OtherTopic/image.gif= 
     5A link to a file attachment may be created in a few different ways:  
     6   1 If using the WYSIWYG editor (TinyMCEPlugin), use the attach (paperclip) toolbar button to select an attachment on the "Insert link to attachment" tab and then press the "Insert link" button  
     7   1 Use the =%<nop>ATTACHURL%= macro (see [[VarATTACHURL]]). This is the full URL for attachments in the current topic. For example:  
     8   <!-- %JQREQUIRE{"chili"}% --><verbatim class="tml">%ATTACHURL%/image.gif</verbatim>  
     9   1 To link to a file attachment in another topic, use the =%<nop>PUBURL%= macro (see [[VarPUBURL]]).  For example:

    7 This Plugin is useful for organizations that already have lots of content in Foswiki: It is easy to create a web based presentation that contains many links to related content and to show live data of Foswiki applications. The Plugin does not try to compete with the bells and whistles of the other presentation program, but the markup of Foswiki and other Plugins like Foswiki:Extensions/ChartPlugin, Foswiki:Extensions.GaugePlugin, Foswiki:Extensions.SpreadSheetPlugin, Foswiki:Extensions.JHotDrawPlugin can be used to create an appealing presentation. 
     7This plugin is useful when content is already available in Foswiki - it allows easy creation of web-based presentations which may contain links to related content and live data from Foswiki applications.
