Short: Autodoc-Formatting Utility Type: util/misc Uploader: inf01@uni-trier.de -- README-File of archive ADFormat.lha follows -------------------------------- ADFormat Version 1.0 README FILE This is version 1.0 of ADFormat, an Autodoc formatting utility. To use it, you must at least read the "Legal Stuff" node in the ADFormat.guide Amigaguide file. Note: If you don't have AmigaGuide, then you can almost read the Guide file with a plain text reader. Just ignore the @xxx commands. Even better, get yourself the AmigaGuide archive from AmiNet or somewhere. Commodore has by now released AmigaGuide as freely distributable. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- What is ADFormat? ADFormat is a utility to format AutoDocs which where converted to AmigaGuide with the AD2HT utility. These files all have an ugly layout, with no justification, no multi-column output and all different sized buttons. ADFormat tries to correct this. It reads in the @NODE MAIN of an Autodoc file and - Searches the largest button in the node and extends all other buttons according to this one, so that all buttons become the same size. - Optionally formats the button to an adjustable number of columns, thus giving you more buttons on screen on one page. - Optionally inserts a "Back to Autodoc-it"-Button at the top of the list, so that you can return to autodoc-it (if you use it at all) without having to set a bookmark or going to thousands of RETRACEs. For further details, look in the ADFormat.guide file, which features a complete explanation of all the possibilities of ADFormat. ADFormat was kind of a quickie, I wrote it on one afternoon in august, and it may still contain bugs. Should you discover some, please let me know (see the "Legal Stuff"-Chapter in the documentation. ============================= Archive contents ============================= Original Packed Ratio Date Time Name -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- ------------- 9384 4743 49.4% 15-Aug-93 23:53:42 adformat/ADFormat 8703 2041 76.5% 16-Aug-93 07:21:48 adformat/adformat.c 496 309 37.7% 16-Aug-93 07:38:34 adformat/adformat.c.info 853 298 65.0% 16-Aug-93 07:38:34 adformat/ADFormat.guide.info 188 84 55.3% 15-Aug-93 14:16:06 adformat/global.h 496 289 41.7% 16-Aug-93 07:38:34 adformat/global.h.info 191 120 37.1% 15-Aug-93 14:18:16 adformat/Makefile 853 304 64.3% 16-Aug-93 07:38:34 adformat/Makefile.info 1703 853 49.9% 16-Aug-93 07:35:08 adformat/README 628 272 56.6% 16-Aug-93 07:38:36 ADFormat.info 6689 2908 56.5% 15-Aug-93 23:53:20 adformat/ADFormat.guide 853 299 64.9% 16-Aug-93 07:38:34 adformat/README.info -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- 31037 12520 59.6% 13-Oct-93 16:09:20 12 files
