1. Inline Images.
   This cycle gadget contains HTML commands that deal with in-line images and their text-alignment.
2. Headers.
   This cycle gadget contains the HTML commands that deal with the header tags. These tags specify the size of headers in a HTML documents.
3. TextStyles.
   This cycle gadget contains the HTML commands that deal with the styles of text a HTML document can contain. Such as italic, bold or fixed-width to name but a few.
4. Page Layout.
   This cycle gadget contains HTML commands that deal with the layout of a HTML document. Such as seperators, paragraph marks etc.
5. Lists.
   This cycle gadget contains HTML commands that deal with the three kinds of lists (unnumbered, numbered and definition) that the HTML language has support for.
6. URL's.
   Finally, this cycle gadget contains HTML commands that deal with URL's. An URL (Universal Resource Locator) is basically an address where something (an image, text etc) can be found and is unique.
7. User Commands.
   This cycle gadget may (in a later version) contain customized entries in a way similar to the custom listview gadget in the Toolkit program.

After a command has been selected from one of the above cycle gadgets it depends on the setting of the FORCE variable (which defaults to NO) if the command selected is immediately sent to the texteditor (FORCE=YES) or if the command is sent only after the 'Send' gadget has been clicked upon. (FORCE=NO) This is neccesary as in normal operation, clicking on a cycle gadget to find the right commamd would otherwise send all other commands that cycle past to the texteditor also. So they are buffered and the buffer will only be processed when the 'Send' gadget is clicked. Said buffer can be cleared using the 'Clear' gadget. However, those people who have the CycleTomenu commodity running will see these cycle gadgets turn into small pop-up menus from which they can easily select the command they wish. And have no more need for the 'Send' or 'Clear' gadgets. But setting the FORCE variable, which controls this behaviour, can only be done when you have obtained the registered version. As it's controlled using a ToolType or CLI parameter as stated below.

As stated before, to get the full usage out of HTML-Wizard, one should have CycleToMenu commodity running. This can be found (amongst others) on AmiNet ftp sites in the /pub/aminet/cdity directory. Recently a new version of the CycleToMenu commodity (v 2.1) has appeared that changed it's behaviour from the 1.0 one. The 2.1 version will no longer allow you to repeat a selection you made in a cyclegadget. I contacted the author and he seems not willing to chance this. Thus I was forced to add a 'R'epeat gadget to the right of every cyclegadget. Click on this if you run CycleToMenu 2.1 and you want to repeat the current entry in a cyclegadget.

HTML-Wizard supports the following ToolTypes/CLI parameters

'PUBSCREEN=' Enables you to specify a public screen HTML-Genie is to open it's
             window on. Default value for this parameter is the Workbench
             screen. Usage: PUBSCREEN=Edit_screen.
'RXSCRIPT='  Use a different path/filename than the default 'S:HTML.rexx'
             script used. This allows you to easily adapt the program to 
             another editor. Usage: RXSCRIPT=t:some_script.rexx.
'RXPATH='    Specify the path for the RX command. As some users have moved the
             command from the SYS:Rexxc path. Make sure tha path specified ends
             in a '/' or ':'. Eg. RXPATH=SYS:rexxstuff/. 
'FONTNAME='  Specify the (fixed width) font to use. Usage: FONTNAME=Topaz.font
'FONTSIZE='  Specify the size of the font to use. Usage: FONTSIZE=11
'TOPEDGE='   Y position for the window to open on. Usage: TOPEDGE=10
'LEFTEDGE='  X position for the window to open on. Usage: LEFTEDGE=50
'ZOOMTOP='   X position of iconified window. Usage: ZOOMTOP=30
'ZOOMLEFT='  Y position of iconified window. Usage: ZOOMLEFT=20 
'HTML='      LOWER|UPPER specifies if HTML output should be in lower or in
             upper case. (Default=UPPER) 
'MENU='      COMBINE|SPLIT specifies if the program is to open one menu with
             the HTML commands accesible through submenu's. Or that every HTML
             category gets it's own menu. (SPLIT) (Default=COMBINE) 
'FORCE='     YES|NO specifies if ARexx commands will be send only after a
             command has been selected from the cycle gadget and the 'Send'
             gadget is clicked. (NO) Or (eg. when used with CycleToMenu) the 
             command is sent after selecting it in the cycle gadget. (YES)
