What's up, doc?

Read version history.


Foreword

    Concerning horizontal slider, I think on it strongly and it will be for the 1.45 version (I must remake Joe text memory management), and also the users' suggestions I had not time to code.
    I would have written more modules but I have no time. T'will be for the next version (I must finish the <TABLE> tag generator).

    A discussion with Emmanuel BARANGER (my mentor, author of EB Model) counselled me about some optimisations and GFA subtilities.


News

  • Extension of text macros:
    • "Return" can be done by using "|" in the text string.
    • A macro can be linked to a text file of the library: *.HTM (LF+CR at every line even the last) or *.STG (C string format). The *.HTM file is inserted like a merge, and the *.STG file like a normal macro. To link the macro to the file: double click or "#"+filename.
      IMPORTANT: All these files must be in the library.

  • Modules (detemine their path). These modules can run independently, or, plus, be used with another HTML edition program if it respects the exchange protocol (See programmer's guide).
    These modules create and insert tags in Joe's text. Modules are mounted with a right click on the text. Locate well the text cursor.

  • The filename insertion with left double click takes care of relative paths.

  • OLGA management: OLGA update is called at every save (not only with Control+A).

  • BubbleGEM management: right click on some objects (icons, menu, and text macros window only).

  • The *.INF files are loadables and savables (JOE.INF is loaded at launching). You can define the browser name, the paths, colors, fonts at every moment with an only action.

  • Utilities in the Replace window: tags destruction, greater and lesser signs conversion. With the whole text or the block.
    Links extraction is done in this window, can save in text or HTML format, and view the result in the browser.

  • { and } characters make a return line and an indentation change. Deactivable and activable with the indentation option in Miscellaneous.

  • Iconification of the editing window (and closing of the others).

  • Keyboard changes:
    • Control+U = Close the window
    • F1 = Load a preferences files (*.INF)
    • Left shift + F1 = Save the preferences

  • Keyboard tags menu management:
    • Help = Activate the tags menu
    • (Shift) + arrows = select item
    • Space or Enter = Valid
    • Escape = Cancel

  • Screenbanded windows: height can be changed. Activation of the browser window is correct.

  • Correction:
    • Drawing with proportional fonts.
    • Saving with OK without a filename.
