 1. Printed manual#12013 |
| Is it posible to obtain either a printed manual or a way of collating the html help files into thesame order as in RPC and printing them out? |
2. Only by doing it manually would be my guess #12014 |
|

If I had the actual html main entries of the documentation (left pane of RPC), I could create a PDF.
Saying this, I wonder if I hadn't done it already some time ago.

Ok, if Pete is willing to do the work, here it is. (And Pete, don't blame me that you opened your mouth and volunteered).
Here's how the format of this list works. A line that starts with > indicates a chapter title. For example:
>Menus
The above is a chapter (of a particular book) named "Menus".
A line that starts with >> indicates a sub-chapter. For examples, under the Menus chapter there may be:
>>File
The above contains the pages that are under the "File" subchapter in the "Menus" chapter.
The pages follow the chapter/sub-chapter heading. Each page is on its own line. A page starts with its title, followed by an equal sign, and then the html file name, minus any .htm extension. For example:
Adding your own book=idehlpnew
The above mentions the page title is "Adding your own book", and the html filename is "idehlpnew.htm".
You guys have no idea the sheer amount of manhours that have gone into writing just the docs, packaging them, and organizing them into REXX Center. But I suspect Pete is going to find out. Pete, you may want to investigate some sort of add-on lib that can help convert a bunch of HTML pages to PDF format. I could help you FUNCDEF it, and then maybe you could write a REXX script to read in the below lists (from text files), and do the conversion. Or, maybe you can get some others to manually do some of the books, and spread the work out among you. Or maybe you can cry "Uncle" right now.
I just want to warn anyone considering printing out these docs... Someone once printed an older (ie, smaller) version of only the REXX Language book. (Not any of the other books). And it amounted to a few hundred pages. All these docs may not seem like much when you're quickly clicking on pages in RPC's help window, but there is a LOT of text there. You're looking at a major expense in ink cartridges. Be aware. |

Jeff: (And Pete, don't blame me that you opened your mouth and volunteered).
You took the words right out of my mouth:
... "on a hot summer night would you offer your throught to the wolf with the red roses"
- Meatloaf
My first thoughts were really to take the main HTML sites and let extract ADOBE extract the subsequent pages and convert them into a PDF File. This method is simplistic and imprecise.
I took a brief look at your output, this would allow a precise navigation within the sites. I will take it, even it's 10 times more work. I have no clue how to do the PDF migration directly from Reginald, neither I know how to FUNCDEF. Any advise from Jeff and you guys is apreciated. |
