- 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.
