DiDaPro v2.xx Quick Guide

Do not forget your right mouse button

Right mouse button gives you quick access to almost all DiDa's functions. You can now toggle between PREVIEW and EDIT mode by using your right mouse button.
We have also designed (CTRL+M) to act as your right mouse button.

Setup Directory Buttons

Directory Buttons gives you quick access to your most frequent used HTML files. You can assign up to 7 different files to the directory buttons, To maintain directory buttons, simply click the 'hammer' button beside the rightmost directory button.

To Auto-select a line:

Hold [shift] button down, then click the right mouse button anywhere on the line.

Change the Default Template

You can replace the content of NORMAL.TXT with any HTML code, then use it as your default HTML template.

Start DiDa in Viewer Mode

If you run DiDa with a filename as its parameter, DiDa will load the file automatically at startup and switch itself to viewer mode.
For example: from the command line type "dipro32 aboutpro.htm"

Remove Tags

DiDa can automatically remove HTML tags if the highlighted text is preceded by and ends with a HTML TAG. DiDa can remove tags shorter than 5 characters, while DiDaPro removes the tag length restriction.

Make DiDa your Default Source Viewer in Netscape

Just go to OPTIONS | GENERAL PREFERENCES | APPS: and set the location of the Dida executable.

Refresh your document

The [HOME] button in previewer also functions as a [REFRESH] button. This will reload the current HTML file in the previewer.

Swap Cols/Rows in Table Editor

To move a column, point the mouse cursor to the header of the column, press and hold the left mouse button.
Drag the column to the right position and release the mouse button.
To move a row, point the mouse cursor to the header of the row, press and hold the left mouse button.
Drag the row to the right position and release the mouse button.

Application launch menu

DiDaPro now allows you to assign 8 different applications to the application launch menu. To see the application launch menu, click on the little cursor button beside the EXIT button.

You will then see an application launch menu with 8 big buttons and 2 small buttons. The big buttons give you easy access to your applications. To setup your applications, simply click on the small [CONFIG] button.

In the [CONFIG] Menu, you may assign applications to each of the eight buttons. You can choose whether DiDa should pass HTML filename to your application.

Fast Editing by accelerator keys

All DiDaPro pull-down buttons can now be accessed by accelerator keys. For example, to set a line's format to H1, you can simply press 'ALT-H', then '1'. All functions in the pop-up menu (activated by right-mouse button) can also be accessed this way.

Import/Export table data

This is a sample of the table export data filter:

ABC
DEF
GHI
The data file would be
"A","B","C"
"D","E","F"
"G","H","I"

Re-edit a table:

** If you have a problem to starting DiDaPro **

Some very old VGA card drivers have problems when running in 256 color mode. If you are not able to run DiDaPro, please try to switch you VGA driver to other color mode (true color / 16 color), or setup Windows to use one of the standard VGA driver, this will normally solve the problem. If you have any other question, please feel free to email us.
