If you aren't using the right font you would not notice it but Heddley 1.1
by Edd Dumbill puts ugly errors in Amigaguide documents.
Heddley is a great program and practically everyone uses it. I know because
every other Amigaguide document I look at has these stupid errors.
The error is that within link text Heddley puts ASCII character 160 instead of
32 for blank spaces. In many fonts ASCII 160 looks like a blank space, so this
error does unnoticed by many Amigaguide authors. On my screen ASCII 160 looks
like a little 'a' with an accent above it.
Imagine seeing: 'TableaofaContentsaaa' instead of
'Table of Contents '
In any event FixHeddley replaces these characters with proper spaces. It also
gives a nice little diagnostic about how many 'Heddley errors' it found.
If you're a Heddley user you owe it to yourself to use FixHeddley to correct
these errors.
Using FixHeddley is easy. From the CLI type:
Fixheddley <name of amigaguide document>
FixHeddley will create a file with the same name with .fixed postpended to it.
It doesn't write to the original file.

1.1: ooops.... 1.0 wasn't the version I intended to upload.
