Introduction to AmigaGuide Writer
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
AmigaGuide Writer (AGW) is a program that allows you to create
quickly and easily AmigaGuide format files from a text file. AGW (currently)
does not allow you to edit the text, rather you create the text in any text
editor. (I use and recommend SkoEd by me :-) and then import the text into
AGW as a Node.
Currently AGW supports the following AmigaGuide commands :
'DATABASE'
'WIDTH'
'HEIGHT'
'WORDWRAP'
'NODE'
'TITLE'
'NEXT'
'PREV'
'ENDNODE'
'TOC'
'LINK'
'ALINK'
'RX'
'RXS'
'SYSTEM'
More commands will be added in the future.
What AGW is NOT :
An AmigaGuide viewer
A Text Editor
Complete (Not yet anyway :-)

Using AGW
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
AGW is designed for Wb2.0 and Wb3.0 systems only (Upgrade to Wb2.0
you will not regret it)
In order to create an AmigaGuide document you must first create a
text file that contains the information that you wish to present. It is
generally better if the text is organised in such a way as to make sense if
read from front to back. (for those people who do not have an AmigaGuide
viewer)
1. Copy the text to the Clipboard or save as a file.
2. In AGW Import from the Clipboard or File. This will create an
AmigaGuide document with one node.
3. Split the document into several nodes by clicking on the line
where you want to split the node and selecting the SPLIT gadget.
A requester will appear asking you to give node information.
Remember Nodes must have unique names and the first Node must
be called MAIN.
5. When you have finished spliting up the document go back through
each section and create links.
a) Highlight the word to make into a link.
b) Select the link type from the cycle gadget.
c) Select the CONNECT gadget.
d) From the list select the node to connect to.
6. Repeat 5 until finished.
7. Give the database a name using File Info.
8. Select Save/Save As from the menu and you are done.
