This document describes in short how to install and use HypView.
|
|
|
|
Installation
|
|
------------
|
|
HypView can be used as normal application or as accessory.
|
|
Set your desktop to open *.HYP files using HypView. If you like you
|
|
can set HypView as default viewer.
|
|
By setting the STGUIDE and/or HELPVIEWER environment variable to
|
|
the full path to HypView, other applications have the possibility to
|
|
start HypView if necessary.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Usage
|
|
-----
|
|
HypView has been written to replace ST-Guide. Therefore it's working
|
|
like "the original". The icons in the toolbar are nearly identical.
|
|
From left to right:
|
|
-"Back": jumps back to the page which lead to the current page
|
|
-"History": displays a history popup which allows jumping back
|
|
to a specific page.
|
|
-"Bookmarks": Allows you to select and define your fovorite pages
|
|
-"Previous": Go to previous page
|
|
-"Home": Go to parent page of the current page.
|
|
-"Next": Go to next page
|
|
-"Index": Display index of all pages/nodes defined.
|
|
-"Catalog": Display the catalog hypertext (defined in the HypView
|
|
configuration file)
|
|
-"See also...": Displays a popup which suggests further readings.
|
|
-"Help": Jump to help page of the current hypertext.
|
|
-"Info": Displays some information about HypView and the current
|
|
hypertext file.
|
|
-"Load": Opens a fileselector to load a new file.
|
|
-"Save": Opens a fileselector to select a filename to which the
|
|
current selection (or the current page) is saved.
|
|
-"Extra": Displays a popup (=same as the right-click context menu)
|
|
which provides access to further operations.
