 +==== Overview ====
 +The Resources module adds the ability for Sahana websites to delve into the content publishing realm. There are many different content management systems on the market today and the Resources module borrows from some of the abilities these software suites make available. The ability to create HTML based content pages in an easy to use WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editor makes publishing important information in Sahana very easy. The module also allows the organization of the pages it creates and advanced features such as inline html editing for the more experienced user.\\

 +\\

 +==== "The Front End" ====
 +Point 1. ~ When a site visitor clicks on the Resources module in the Sections Menu, they will land on the "Main" page. You can see the main page as a child page of the Resource module, and as well as in the Page title.\\
 +\\
 +Point 2. ~ Links to "Child Pages" are automatically generated as links on the main page as well as submenu items in the module menu.\\
 +\\
 +Point 3. ~ The page description for each page is displayed as text next to the link and is generally thought to contain a small snippet of relevant information about the page so the user can learn about the child page's content.\\
 +\\
 +Point 4. ~ Clicking on any of the page links from Point 2. will jump the user to the child page as is evident here. It should also be noted that the page's title and content are updated.\\
