- A HELPFILE SOURCE PARSER PROGRAM FOR DELPHI
- (C) 1995 Patrik Wang
- 27 September 1995
- DESCRIPTION
- All of you that are using VB Helpwriter to make your helpfiles can now also use
- it to make Delphi keyword files (*.KWF) to integrate helpfiles in components.
- It reads the PRJ file from VB Helpwriter and then convert all footnotes to
- the Microsoft RTF specifications and also makes B footnotes for those keywords
- that contains the string class_, prop_ or event_. The program is specifically
- written for VB Helpwriter rtf footnote format e.d. no post footnotes
- (K, $ ...).
-
- INSTALLATION
- You have to make an installation on your own depending on how you have set up
- HelpWriter. I will describe the functionality below.
- Because this program is a Windows program it cannot be executed from the pif
- file VB Helpwriter uses (HCP.PIF) whenever a compilation needs, you will have
- to start this program when you want to generate the KWF file. This is probably
- no problem because you will only do this once when the helpfile is finished.
- In VB Helpwriter you should just enter the B footnotes as regular keywords, ex.
- class_TEdit or prop_Align. Whenever you run the parser program it will remove
- those K footnotes and insert a new B footnote for that footnote instead.
- As a result you will have to recompile the helpfile again to make sure that
- the B footnotes is not in the 'search' (K footnotes), because you dont want to
- have keywords names as prop_Align or prop_LoadFromFile in the search for the
- helpfile.
-
