- Description:
- -----------
-
- This is a comprehensive guide to writing documents in Amigaguide format.
- Of course, this document, itself, is in Amigaguide format ;-)
- So you will need either Amigaguide or Multiview to read it properly.
-
- There are plenty of examples included and lots of cross referencing.
-
- Differences in the various versions of the amigaguide.library and
- amigaguide.datatype are covered.
-
- Changes In Version 1.04 05-12-97
- --------------------------------
-
- * Oh dear oh dear!!!! - found out that Amigaguide/Multiview in Version 39
- will NOT show lines which have this sequence of characters:-
-
- a backslash
- the @ symbol
- any character immediately after the @ other than space or {
-
- so users of version 39 had a lot of blank lines while reading this
- project!!! (VERY strange as versions 34 and 40 DO show such lines!!!).
-
- COMPLETELY REWROTE THE WHILE PROJECT TO FIX THIS V39 PROBLEM!!
-
- * As I have now been able to access a version 39 setup I have revised all
- sections where there was doubt expressed as to how version 39 reacted.
-
- * I found out that there is a problem with `Retrace' with links to lines in
- the same node when using version 39. I have therefore created a lot more
- nodes rather than having links to lines other than the first in the node.
-
- * Added the section on the BEEP section.
-
- * Added a bit to the Unrecognised Commands to explain what happens when the
- unrecognised command is set up similarly to link commands.
-
- * Added section on Current Directory recognised by Amigaguide/Multiview.
-
- * Transferred section on Links to Non Amigaguide Documents from the node
- Links To Document Nodes to its own node.
-
- * Added section on the debugging feature which resulted in a slight change
- to the DATABASE section.
-
- * Rewrote "Problem 7" when I found that versions 34 and 39 did NOT react in
- the same way as I had previoulsy thought they did.
-
- * A LOT of other minor cosmetic changes that have made no real change to the
- context. These are too numerous to mention.
