- ADFormat Version 1.0 README FILE
-
- This is version 1.0 of ADFormat, an Autodoc formatting utility. To use it,
- you must at least read the "Legal Stuff" node in the ADFormat.guide Amigaguide
- file.
-
- Note: If you don't have AmigaGuide, then you can almost read the Guide file
- with a plain text reader. Just ignore the @xxx commands. Even better, get
- yourself the AmigaGuide archive from AmiNet or somewhere. Commodore has
- by now released AmigaGuide as freely distributable.

- What is ADFormat?
-
- ADFormat is a utility to format AutoDocs which where converted to AmigaGuide
- with the AD2HT utility. These files all have an ugly layout, with no
- justification, no multi-column output and all different sized buttons. ADFormat
- tries to correct this. It reads in the @NODE MAIN of an Autodoc file and
-
- - Searches the largest button in the node and extends all other buttons
- according to this one, so that all buttons become the same size.
-
- - Optionally formats the button to an adjustable number of columns, thus
- giving you more buttons on screen on one page.
-
- - Optionally inserts a "Back to Autodoc-it"-Button at the top of the
- list, so that you can return to autodoc-it (if you use it at all)
- without having to set a bookmark or going to thousands of RETRACEs.
-
- For further details, look in the ADFormat.guide file, which features a
- complete explanation of all the possibilities of ADFormat.
-
- ADFormat was kind of a quickie, I wrote it on one afternoon in august, and
- it may still contain bugs. Should you discover some, please let me know (see
- the "Legal Stuff"-Chapter in the documentation.
