HTML-Heaven - How to use ToolKit

ToolKit opens a Window that contains two listview gadgets. The uppermost of the two contains all the HTML commands present in HTML-Genie and in the same organisation. It contains header to seperate the different categories. If you select one of these headers nothing will happen though. Here's list of which is which.

Page Layout.
This part of the listview contains HTML commands that deal with the layout of a HTML document. Such as seperators, paragraph marks etc.
Headers.
This part of the listview contains the HTML commands that deal with the header tags. These tags specify the size of headers in a HTML documents.
Inline Image.
This part of the listview contains HTML commands that deal with in-line images and their text-alignment.
Lists.
This part of the listview contains HTML commands that deal with the three kinds of lists (unnumbered, numbered and definition) that the HTML language has support for.
Text Styles.
This part of the listview contains the HTML commands that deal with the different styles of text a HTML document can contain. Such as italic, bold or fixed-width to name but a few.
URL's.
This part of the listview gadget contains HTML commands that deal with URL's. An URL (Universal Resource Locator) is basically a unique address where a resource (an image, text etc) can be found.
Assorted.
Finally this part of the listview contains assorted HTML commands.

For Registered Users only:

ToolKit allows the user to determine which commands to put in the lower listview. When the program is started, a config file is processed that should contain these commands. When no USERCMD parameter/ToolType is supplied, ToolKit looks for the file sys:Prefs/Presets/ToolKit.config. If that exists, it is processed. If it does not, ToolKit will use the internal defaults. Which are the ones unregistered users get.

The config file needs to adhere to the following syntax rules:

Should consist of alternating TITLE= and COMMAND= entries.
each TITLE= and COMMAND= entrie must be on one line. There is no limit to the length of a line.
Currently ToolKit supports 1024 TITLE=/COMMAND= pairs per config file.
The normal C string rules apply. So if you wish to use a \ or a " in the string, precede it by a \. Eg. \\ for \ and \" for ".
The config file must contain an equal number of COMMAND= and TITLE= entries.

Here is an example of a ToolKit config file...


TITLE=StarTrek URL
COMMAND=<LI><A HREF=\"pics/StarTrek/as-.jpg\"> .</A>
TITLE=Amiga FTP URL 
COMMAND=<LI> <A HREF=\"ftp://iaehv.nl/pub/users/paul/amiga/\"> .</A>
TITLE=OS/2 FTP URL
COMMAND=<LI> <A HREF=\"ftp://iaehv.nl/pub/users/paul/os2/\"> .</A>
TITLE=UList Frame
COMMAND=<UL>  <LI></UL>
