<h3>Only one field is essential</h3>
<p>There is only one essential field which must be there before the Submit button will work:
<ul>
<li><b>caveslug</b> e.g. 1623-195 or 1623-2012-dd-01
</ul>
<p>See below for explanations.
<h3>Names of identifiers and files</h3>
<p>Today we use CAPITAL LETTERS for cave names, e.g. 2014-MF-03, but <b>lower case</b> for the names of files, e.g. 2014-mf-03.svx, despite what you might see in historical data.
<p>However we always use lower case for entrance identifiers 'a', 'b', 'c' etc.
<p>We used to use CAPITAL LETTERS for cave names, e.g. 2014-MF-03, but <b>lower case</b> for the names of files, e.g. 2014-mf-03.svx . However so many people have done the revere that we have stopped caring.
<p>However we do still always use lower case for entrance identifiers 'a', 'b', 'c' etc.
<p>So a new cave would be 2023-ZZ-01 and its entrances would be 2023-ZZ-01a, 2023-Z-01b and 2023-ZZ-01c.
<p>This convention is to prevent confusion between Windows and Linux machines, and unintentional deletion of data.
<p>Our generic guidance for typing logbooks, handbook pages etc. applies particularly to cave descriptions and entrance descritpions where we have to be particularly picky about the formats and character encodings, so now read:

<h2>List of New Cave/Cave_data fields</h2>
<p>The filename <em>must</em> be the name of the cave, with ".html" as a suffix, e.g. 1623-309.html or 1623-2024-XX-01.html . The filename is used by troggle to create the unique identifier for the cave, so don't screw this up.

<h3>Template files for bulk entry</h3>
<p>
There are template files for you to fill-in when creating new caves and entrance in the online system. Download them:
<ul>
<li><a download href="../../templates/cave_data.xml">cave_data template</a>
<li><a download href="../../templates/entrance_data.xml">entrance_data template</a>
<li><a download href="../../templates/cave_data.html">cave_data template</a>
<li><a download href="../../templates/entrance_data.html">entrance_data template</a>
</ul>
These are XML files, not HTML files, using special tags which are used by the online system to create the webpages in combination with numerical survey data. Instructions are within each file. These are copies (and may be out of date), the master copies are in troggle/templates/dataformat/ .
