Tips & tricks according to ST-Guide


A user-defined title page for ST-Guide

If you don't like the layout of the title page UDO will make with !maketitle you can make your own title page with some commands:

The following example shows how to make your own title page but only for the ST-Guide. It's used a "hidden" node that contains the word "Contents" at the end. The ST-Guide will insert a link to the table of contents due to this word.

!program Title pages with UDO

!begin_document

!ifndest [stg]

!maketitle

!else

!node* Title

!begin_center
The hypertext to ""Hello, World!"" (!nl)
Version 8.4

written by

Ford Prefect
!end_center

!smallskip

!begin_center
Contents
!end_center

!endif

!tableofcontents

!node The first chapter
This is the first chapter

!node Bye bye
Stop it, now!

!end_document

Don't use justified text

"Why that?" you might ask. Well, Martin Osieka has written a program called Hyperion for the Apple Macintosh that can display ST-Guide hypertexts.

In contrast to ST-Guide Hyperion can display hypertexts with proportional fonts but only if you don't use justified text.

Thus you should don't use the justification if you want that Macintosh users shall also read your hypertext without any problems.

If you have written a system specific hypertext that is only interesting for Atari users you can use justification without any doubts.
