All information contained in the HTMLib is available directly from the Index/Contents buttons in the toolbar. Below is a description of the buttons. See below for a description of the History List.

Click the button below to get information on its function.

This is the Contents button. It displays the expanding table of contents for the HTMLib in the left hand frame.

The Index button. It displays the HTMLib index, which has references to all the elements, Style Sheet properties, and Document Objects detailed in the HTMLib.

The Print button. This prints the currently displayed topic (being displayed in this window).

The Back button. This navigates back through the history of the displayed topics.

The Synchronise Contents button. If you get 'lost' navigating through the HTMLib via links in the documents/Related topics links, press the 'Synchronise Contents' button, which will highlight in the Contents pane, exactly where you are in the HTMLib. By default, auto-synching is enabled, hence this button is disabled. To disable auto-synching, enabling this button, uncheck Auto Synching from the Navigate menu.

The Help button. Pressing this button displays this document, but then you already know that one.

The Menu Options
Activate the menu items (in the normal fashion) and click each one for a description of its function.

Description

The History List
The History List maintains a list of the topics viewed during the current HTMLib session. Whenever a new topic is navigated to (from the Table of Contents, Index, a document link, or a Related Topics link), the document title will be appended to the History List. At any time, any document in the History List can be navigated to by selecting the document title and pressing the 'Enter' key.

Note : 'Reloading' the HTMLib empties the History list. Also, note that the topic listed in the History list may not match that displayed after the 'Back' button is used. It doesn't list the current location, rather maintains a list of visited topics, displaying the most recent document that was directly navigated to.
