Macro Language & Styles

Unread post by **Tim Green** » Mon Jul 01, 2002 7:32 pm

I know these are two really big wishes, but they'd still be very useful.

A macro language would make H&M infinitely extendible with user-created functions, rather like Dreamweaver. That would be very cool.

Word-style styles or CSS stylesheets would also be a real godsend. Then you could simply change a style and have all paragraphs with that tag update automatically.

I think that styles are the most important feature. Not only do I want to change a style and see it reflected in all topics, I consider it even more important to be able to define different export styles. To apply a different layout to PDF and HTML HELP, for instance.

However, since the text editor we currently use in Help & Manual does not support real styles, this is a wish for version 4.

Oh yes, that would be very good.

I had thought as much -- great to hear that it's planned though!
