- README for HTML-Help 1.1
- -------------------------
-
- Requirements
- ------------
- Any Atari ST/TT/Falcon with at least 512 KB and TOS 1.4 (1.0 and 1.2
- may work but I haven't tested that). A harddisk and a good text editor
- is recommended and, of course, a WWW browser like CAB or Webspace. It
- is a good idea to use an editor that can run as an ACC if you are
- working with single TOS. HTML-Help has also been successfully tested
- on a Hades 060.
-
- Changes
- -------
- 0.9 First version, published by the German Atari magazine
- Atari Inside in August 1996.
- 1.1 Accessory access under single TOS!
- Around 90 special characters are now supported.
- The text viewer can now be set directly from HTML-Help.
- Support for American English :-) . The only effect is
- that 'colour' is replaced by 'color'...
- I put many of the internal text information into the RSC
- file to make translations to other languages easier.
- The original Atari fileselector is now displayed without
- problems.
- Nice graphics for the help/info dialog!
- 1.15 Filenames can now be shortened.
- 1.2 Minor enhancements.
-
- Languages
- ---------
- HTML-Help supports two languages: English and German. American English
- and French are partly supported.
- Falcon users don't have to change any file names, HTML-Help will load
- the right RSC file. If the language is not German it will load
- automatically the English RSC.
- ST/TT users can set the language in the options dialog.
-
-
- Convert special characters
- --------------------------
- Convert between Atari, Windows and HTML characters.
-
- Please note that this conversion can't be perfect due to the different
- character sets of each computer. Many capital umlauts are missing in
- the Atari character set. They are converted to their lower case
- equivalents. The Windows ANSI set doesn't support many mathematical
- symbols. HTML supports so many characters that they can't be converted
- all.
-
- Some characters will not be converted. These are: "&<>
- They are part of the HTML syntax and a conversion would damage the file.
-
-
- View text
- ---------
- The Text window isn't 100% compatible GEM. It works well under
- 640*480/400 but may look strange under other resolutions. So I have
- integrated a new feature to use a text editor instead of the
- integrated text viewer. Since version 1.1, the viewer can be set
- directly from the HTML-Help option dialog. I recommend Edith as the
- text editor because it can run together with HTML-Help under single
- TOS.
-
- The paths for browser and editor can be defined in HTML-Help.
