- FORM ID: HEAD
-
- FORM Description:
-
- FORM HEAD is the file storage format of the Flow idea processor
- by New Horizons Software, Inc. Currently only the TEXT and NEST
- chunks are used. There are plans to incorporate FSCC and some
- additional chunks for headers and footers.
-
-
- CHUNKS
- ======
-
- CHUNK ID: NEST
-
- This chunk consists of only of a word (two byte) value that gives
- the new current nesting level of the outline. The initial nesting level
- (outermost level) is zero. It is necessary to include a NEST chunk only
- when the nesting level changes. Valid changes to the nesting level are
- either to decrease the current value by any amount (with a minimum of 0)
- or to increase it by one (and not more than one).
-
-
- CHUNK ID: TEXT
-
- This chunk is the actual text of a heading. Each heading has a TEXT
- chunk (even if empty). The text is not NULL terminated - the chunk
- size gives the length of the heading text.
-
-
- CHUNK ID: FSCC
-
- This chunk gives the Font/Style/Color changes in the heading from the
- most recent TEXT chunk. It should occur immediately after the TEXT chunk
- it modifies. The format is identical to the FSCC chunk for the IFF
- form type 'WORD' (for compatibility), except that only the 'Location'
- and 'Style' values are used (i.e., there can be currently only be style
- changes in an outline heading). The structure definition is:
-
- typedef struct {
- UWORD Location; /* Char location of change */
- UBYTE FontNum; /* Ignored */
- UBYTE Style; /* Amiga style bits */
- UBYTE MiscStyle; /* Ignored */
- UBYTE Color; /* Ignored */
- UWORD pad; /* Ignored */
- } FSCChange;
-
- The actual chunk consists of an array of these structures, one entry
- for each Style change in the heading text.
