With the (!xlink) (external link
) and
(!url) commands you can insert links to (parts of)
other documents, net sites or hypertexts. The difference to the upper
command: UDO doesn't adjust special chars of the link destination. The
tilde isn't a non-breaking space in the link destination, too.
UDO: | (!xlink) [UDO] [*:\udo.hyp] |
ST-Guide: | @{"UDO" link "*:\udo.hyp"}
|
UDO: | (!xlink) [Atari] [http://www.atari.com] |
HTML: | <A HREF="http://www.atari.com">Atari</A>
|
UDO: | (!xlink) [UDO] [Titel@d:/winhelp/udo.hlp] |
WinHelp: | {\uldb UDO}{\v Titel@d:/winhelp/udo.hlp}
|
else: | UDO (or Atari) |
How to use external links inside an HTML file is descriped in the following example:
""(!xlink [Yahoo] [http://www.yahoo.com])!.."" (!nl) ""(!xlink [Web.de] [http://web.de])!..""
Hints:
You have to use existing topic names for Windows Help. A topic name must contain only numbers and characters form the alphabet. All other characters will be converted by UDO.
You should use *:\ at the beginning of an external link for the ST-Guide to tell it to look for the hypertext in all directories you defined with PATHS in your ST-GUIDE.INF.
Using the switch called !no_xlinks you can suppress the conversion of external links. This is useful if you wrote a source file especially for HTML and you want to make a version for Windows Help or ST-Guide, where the external file would make no sense.
