'''Map to Text Conversion'''
|| * '''Freeplane''' allows conversion of a map to structured text.
* This is a useful feature in teaching and learning.


|-
|| Click on the right middle side arrow to open the '''Tool panel'''.

Scroll down the '''Tool panel'''.
|| Open the '''Tool panel'''.

Scroll down and locate the '''core text''' section.

First, let's '''number''' and '''renumber''' the child nodes.

|-
|| Hover mouse next to '''core text, node numbering''' check box.
|| Notice '''node numbering''' option.

|-
|| Press '''Ctrl+A'''.
|| To number all the nodes first select all the nodes.

Press '''Control''' and '''A''' keys together to select all the nodes.

|-
|| Check the box for '''node numbering'''.
|| Check the box for '''Node numbering'''.

'''Freeplane''' automatically numbers the nodes in a structured manner.

The numbers appear next to the nodes.

|-
|| Hover mouse next to '''Mercury''' '''node number'''.
|| Notice that, Number one, appears next to '''Mercury'''. 

|-
|| Select '''Mercury node'''.
|| To renumber the '''Mercury''' node, we will select it and adjust the node position.

For this, Press the '''control''' & '''arrow''' keys to get the desired number on the node.

|-
|| Select the '''Mercury''' node.

Press '''Ctrl+ up arrow key''' twice.
|| Change '''mercury''' node numbering twice using '''control''' and Down arrow key.

Notice the change in the numbering of the nodes in the map.

|-
|| Press '''Ctrl+ down arrow key''' twice.
|| For now keep the numbering as before.

I will change it back to one, by using '''control''' and up arrow keys.

|-
|| Click on '''Edit,''' '''Move''' and '''sort'''.
|| Menu alternate to move the node position is '''Edit,''' '''Move and sort''' with sub menu.

From the submenu, click on '''Move node sibling up''' or '''sibling down''' position.

|-
|| Press '''Ctrl+S'''.
|| Press '''Ctrl+S''', to save the map, before exporting it in text form.

|-
|| Click on '''File,''' '''Export''' '''map'''.
|| Click on '''File,''' '''Export''' '''map'''.

|| Here title of the document is the parent node, '''Sun'''.

|-
|| Scroll down the document.
|| The exported document has a title, heading, subheading and text body.

Child nodes of the parent are classified into sections, and subsections.

|-
|| Scroll down. 

Hover mouse over '''Mercury''', '''Earth''', '''Moon''' and '''Hubble''' '''telescope'''.
|| Each planet appears with it’s own section.

|-
|| Hover mouse over '''Mercury'''.
|| '''Mercury''' being closest to the Sun, is number 1 on the list of sections.

|-
|| Cursor next to text body of '''Moon'''.
|| Notice, the notes under '''Venus''' node are exported under the sub-section on '''Venus'''.

|-
|| Cursor on '''export.odt''' file.
|| Writer documents are a popular form of share and distribution.

|-
|| Show screenshot of the map.
|| Recollect that, the map had image and mp3 file attached to it.

|-
|| Cursor image and mp3 files in the screenshot of the map.
|| Currently, image & media files are not exported or imported.

This may change with future versions.

|-
|| Close the '''export.odt''' file, Go to '''Freeplane'''.
|| Close '''export.odt''' and go back to '''Freeplane'''.

|-
|| Press '''Ctrl+A'''.

Uncheck the '''node numbering''' box.
|| Select all the nodes and uncheck the '''node numbering''' box.

|-
|| Press '''Ctrl+S'''.
|| Press '''Control S''' to save the map.

Export the map as an '''openoffice''' document again.

|-
|| Give filename '''nonumber-export.odt''' and save on '''Desktop''' folder.


Click on the '''Save''' button to save.
|| I will give the file name as '''nonumber-export.odt.'''

Click on the '''Save''' button to save the file on '''Desktop'''.

|-
|| Go to '''Desktop'''.
|| Again, go to '''Desktop'''.

|-
|| Show '''nonumber-export.odt''' file.
|| Please pause the video and examine the newly created file.

|-
|| Show screenshot of newly exported file.
|| The output file format will look different without node numbering.

|-
|| '''Slide Number 7'''

'''Text to Map Conversion'''
|| 
* Next, let's look at conversion of structured text to map. 
* Here, we will condense long documents into a map without losing it’s structure.


|-
|| Go to '''Desktop'''.
|| Go to '''Desktop''' directory. 


I have made a structured '''open office''' document named '''import.odt'''.
|-
|| Open '''import.odt'''.
|| Double click on '''import.odt''' file icon and open it in '''Libreoffice'''.
|-
|| Hover mouse over title, index, page 5 and chapter number.
|| It is titled '''Solar system''', has a table of contents with sections.


It is 5 pages long.
|-
|| Cursor on the text file.
|| This text is about '''Solar system'''.
|-
|| Cursor on '''Mercury'''.
|| Notice the font formatting in '''Mercury'''.
|-
|| Press '''Ctrl+A''', then press '''Ctrl+C'''.
|| Let’s select the whole document by pressing '''Ctrl+ A.'''


Copy the whole document with the command''' Ctrl+C'''.
|-
|| Press '''Ctrl+N'''.
|| Go back to '''Freeplane''' and press '''Ctrl+ N''' to open a new map. 
|-
|| Click on the '''OK button'''.
|| A dialogue box appears, prompting to choose a style '''template''' for the new map. 


Retain the default and click on the '''OK button'''.
|-
|| Click on '''Edit, Paste as'''.
|| Click on '''Edit, Paste as''' to open the '''paste as''' dialogue box.
|-
|| Choose the '''Html as node hierarchy''' option and Click on '''Ok'''.
|| Choose the '''Html as node hierarchy''' option and Click on '''Ok'''.
|-
|| Hover mouse over the pasted text.
|| The 5 pages long document is pasted into the concept map in a structured form.
|-
|| Select '''root node''' and Unfold all nodes in the map.
|| Select the '''root node'''.


Unfold and show all the nodes in the map.

Notice that title and index is seen as a separate child '''node'''.

|-
|| Cursor on the map.
|| Each section in the text document is imported into a different '''node''' in the map.

Sub-sections are structured into child nodes.

|-
|| Cursor next to '''Mercury node'''.
|| Notice, the font formatting of '''Mercury''' is also retained.

This formatting is different from the rest of the nodes.

|-
|| Hover mouse over '''Sun''' and planets.
|| Mostly the software has read the formatting as desired. 

|-
|| Cursor on the map.
|| However, there are few minor issues.

|-
|| Cursor on the '''Sun node''' and on the details of '''Sun'''.
|| Text body of '''Solar system''' appear as sibling node instead of child node or notes.

We can change it to a child '''node''' or as '''notes''' to the '''Solar system node'''.

It would improve the map formatting.

|-
|| Select the three nodes which give details of '''Sun''' as sibling node.
|| Select and copy the details of '''Solar system''' appearing as sibling node.

Drag them towards the '''Solar system node'''. 

|-
|| Drop the three nodes on '''Sun node'''.
|| When the '''Solar system node''' turns to light grey, drop the sibling node.

|-
|| Cursor on map, showing child nodes of '''Sun'''.
|| Now it is a child node instead of being a sibling node.

|-
|| Show '''Edit, Move and Sort''' submenu.
|| Menu alternate to this is the sub menu, in '''Edit, Move and Sort''' option.

|-
|| Go to '''Earth Node'''. 
|| Go to '''Earth Node'''. 

|-
|| Unfold and hover mouse over '''Earth''' and 5 child nodes.
|| '''Moon''', '''satellites''' and '''Hubble''' '''telescope''' appear as children of '''Earth'''.

|-
|| Hover mouse next to '''satellite node'''.
|| Notice the 3 sub sections in the '''satellite node'''.

There three sections were structured so in the text document.

|-
|| Cursor on the map.
|| Pause the video and practice formatting to your choice.

|-
|| Cursor on the map.
|| Here too if images are present, they will not get imported to the concept map.

|-
|| Show screenshot of '''Freeplane''' user forum.
|| When using advanced features, users may come across few issues in the software.

For such queries, check '''Freeplane''' updates and '''user forum''' for latest information.

|-
|| Press''' Control S'''.
|| Press''' Control S''' to save the map. 

|-
|| Type filename '''imported- document.mm''', and click on '''Save'''.
|| Type the filename and save in the '''Desktop''' directory.

|-
|| Click on '''File, Quit Freeplane'''.
|| Click on '''File, Quit Freeplane''' to quit '''Freeplane'''.
