- See is yet ¤1another¤0 hypertext system for help files. Why?
-
- In my opinion the ideal is a linked system of HTML documents.
- The trouble is that at the moment the available web browsers
- for Risc OS are a bit slow at scrolling text, and using them
- is like cracking a nut with a sledgehammer. So until Risc OS
- has a fast web browser in ROM, this is something small quick
- and simple. It displays fast scrolling, active text, in colour.
- It has been tested with VGA type modes only.
-
- I describe the text displayed by !See as active because you can
- embed commands in it, which are activated by clicking on them.
- Commands must start with an asterisk (*) and comprise a complete
- single colour segment of a line, i.e. it must contain no changes
- of colour (either of fore- or back-ground), and be bounded either
- by the start or end of the line or by colour boundaries. Text in
- commands must be in the system font. Clicking with Select will
- execute the command, typically to open another See file, and close
- the current See window. Clicking with Adjust will leave the current
- window open.
