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.
