; HELPDEMO *
;******************************************************************************
these lines are remark lines, only lines that appear between the help
definitions directives are processed by the help compiler, or lines that
start with a period and a reserved command such as .include or .linkcolor
The next section defines a topic called overview. You must have a
topic like that in your database, it is the entry point of the
help database, when the help engine displays the first page of
the database.
Notice - If you want to use this database in a WWW server (By compiling to the
HTML target), please change the .rootnode and .rootpath parameters at the end
of this docuemnt!
;******************************************************************************
; overview *
;******************************************************************************
.entry overview
This is the first line of the overview topic in the help demo database.
The previous line did not have any ~link~link~, while this one does.
Press the Enter key to view the link topic help page.
.end-entry
As can be seen, the only link available from the overview page is a topic
called link. In the next section we will define the link topic, and
include 2 links in it. One to the previous link (overview), and an
additional one - somewhere else.
;******************************************************************************
; link *
; notice that this topic's title will be different then the topic name *
; because of the use of the .TITLE keyword. *
; notice also that the topic is defined by .topic and .end-topic which are *
; the same as the .entry .end-entry keywords *
;******************************************************************************
.topic link
.title This is the 2nd screen
.paragraph
Welcome to the link help page, since this is a demo help database, we
know that you arrived to this page from the ~overview~overview~ page,
by pressing the link hot-link. In this page we will demonstrate the
ability to include 2 different names (or more) that will take us to the
same link.
.end-paragraph
Example :
Related Topics : ~Topic~Topic~
~General~overview~
.end-topic
In the above section we defined 3 links, that are linked to 2 topics, we
showed that we can reach the same topic from more then one spot in the
same topic, using different names.
We will now define the third and final page in the helpdemo database, this
topic is called topic. Notice that if we did not include this one, the
helpC help compiler would have told us that there is a link defined,
that is not defined as a topic.
;******************************************************************************

.entry Topic
.paragraph
Well.. it seems as if you succeeded to reach this point by yourself,
this is the 3rd page of the HELPDEMO help database. From this
help page you can go to the ~previous~link~ help page, or to the
~entry~overview~ help page.
.end-paragraph
Have fun using the help compiler and help engine ..
Notice - this line demostrates the use of a ~~ in a text page.
(Please refer to the HELPDEMO.HDF file for an example .. )
