- As I stated in my last message, I have written an amigaguide help system
- for AMOSPro. This means that it will be possible to access help pages for
- your extension commands by pressing the help key over the command in the
- AMOSPro editor, just like the current system for builting AMOSPro commands.
-
- However, for this to work, it is important that the following convention is
- used to name the nodes of your help file:
-
-
- - Each node that describes a command should have the name
- C_<commandname> including any $ or # that is part of the
- name, but with spaces removed. (Style unashamedly cribbed
- from andy churches intution extension guide).
-
-
- - If a node describes more than one command, add an additional
- line beneath the @node line for each other command described
- of the form:
-
- @AKA C_<othercommandname>
-
- All other amigaguide viewers will ignore these lines.
-
-
- - As an extra feature, you may generate a hypertext link that when
- pressed loads a program into a new window in the AMOSPro editor,
- and exits help, like the original AMOSPro help did. The format
- is:
-
- @{"<textlabel>" amos <filename>}
-
- where textlabel is the text to appear on screen as the link, and
- filename is name of the file to load, which should be a complete
- path, and not relative to the current directory.
-
- Such a link will be drawn by other amigaguide viewers, but will
- have no effect when pressed.
-
-
- Please adjust you documentation to follow this style, as it will allow the
- user to integrate it into the new AMOSPro help system simply by copying it to
- the appropriate directory.
