The hypertext.datatype is the base class for all hypertext or text
datatypes. It provides the basic functionality for handling of
hypertext and text documents. This includes text layout, rendering,
printing, searching, embedding of other datatype objects, links to
other documents, starting of programs and arexx scripts and more.

Changes since last release :

hypertext.datatype 40.22 (23.11.97) :

- fixed bug, which caused wrong rendering of links if the tabcycle
  feature was used with keyrepeat
- added HTDTA_SeparatorIsFF attribute

hypertext.datatype 40.21 (19.11.97) :

- added Keys: assign for loading keyfiles
- fixed rendering bug for HTML like underlined links

hypertext.datatype 40.20 (11.11.97) :

- fixed bug for long documents, which are higher than 2^16-1 pixel.
- fixed bug if a document was loaded with no background color or
  picture from a document with one, where the background wasn't
  cleared totally.
- fixed bug for document loading, if there exists several nodes with
  the same name in different hyperguide documents.
- fixed various bugs concerning asyncron method invocations. This fixed
  most problems using the hypertext.datatype with the original
  amigaguide.library. Now you can use all HTDS datatypes for online help!
- fixed bug with mark color. If you cleared the marked region it wasn't
  rendered (because of using JAM1 instead of JAM2).

hypertext.datatype 40.19 (8.10.97) :

- optimize underlined links, which points to the same destination
  (rendered in once)
- added object dependend path lists
- added support for KEYFILES,KEYPATH environment variables
- added support for KeyFiles: and KeyPath: assigns
- fixed bug, which disabled DTM_WRITE method
