- #rem
- #rem This is a very simple .txt file that illustrates the
- #rem typical form of a hypertext file. You will need to compile
- #rem this file, using the HyperHelper compiler before you'll
- #rem be able to browse through this file. To compile this .txt
- #rem file use:
- #rem
- #rem C:> hc sample
- #rem
- #rem Note that the .txt extension of the filename is not used.
- #rem The compiler will translate the .txt file into a special form
- #rem that is only readable by the HyperHelper browser. This compiled
- #rem file will be called sample.htx.
- #rem
- #rem Once sample.txt is compiled, you can browse through the sample.htx
- #rem file using the HyperHelper browser by typing:
- #rem
- #rem C:> hh sample
- #rem
- #rem This sample hypertext deck only contains a portion of the commands
- #rem that are available in HyperHelper. However, the commands used here
- #rem are probably the ones you'll use most often. In particular, note
- #rem the usage of:
- #rem
- #rem #rem -- a comment line.
- #rem #deck title -- declares the title of the deck.
- #rem #size -- defines the size of all cards;
- #rem in this case, 40 columns by 9 rows.
- #rem #center text on -- center all text in the cards that
- #rem follow within the window size specified
- #rem by the #size command.
- #rem #card -- marks the beginning of a card. Note
- #rem the first word after "#card" is the
- #rem internal card name and any words
- #rem after it are external card names which
- #rem can be used to access the card from
- #rem the command line (See card 2) or as
- #rem a context sensitive link in the
- #rem memory resident version of the
- #rem HyperHelper browser.
- #rem #end -- marks the end of a card (optional).
- #rem #center line -- centers the next line to the text
- #rem in the card.
- #rem ! -- special character which is used
- #rem to define the links between cards.
