..and now for something relatively more useful: i noticed you created a fractint / win_help / winfract.rtf file
This is code from the old WinFract code path. FractInt for Windows uses the .src help files in dos_help. At some point this home grown help markup will be converted to something more modern. Perhaps xml or something else that can be output to a more modern MS help format like .CHM or .HTML. I don't know how that .rtf file is/was created.
is there a way to save it as an x/html file? or should i tweak (enhance= ) hc.c to spit out x/html? or should i write help*.src parser on my own? how was the now slightly outdated on-line doc at spanky generated?
An enhanced hc.exe that output XML would be great. I say XML and not HTML because you can always write a style sheet transformation for the XML to display it as nice HTML. If it was XML, then eventually the help system in FractInt could be updated to consume the XML for the integrated help. I have some notes from Noel Giffin on converting the *.src files to HTML since he did it for the Spanky web site. If you want to start working on hc.cpp to enhance it for XML output, I can post his notes back to the list. -- "The Direct3D Graphics Pipeline" -- DirectX 9 draft available for download <http://www.xmission.com/~legalize/book/download/index.html> Legalize Adulthood! <http://blogs.xmission.com/legalize/>
