X-Hacker.org- Making a Norton Guide database for NGX - Norton Guide http://www.X-Hacker.org [<<Previous Entry] [^^Up^^] [Next Entry>>] [Menu] [About The Guide]

   Color attributes and special characters                    (source file)

   are useful for enhancing the display of certain parts of an entry and
   making the database easier to read.

   ^b      Bold attribute
   ^r      Reverse video attribute
   ^u      Underline  (different attribute on color screen)
   ^n      Normal attribute

   ^aNN    Color NN (hexadecimal number)
   ^cNN    Character NN (hexadecimal number)

          +--------------------------------------------------------+
          | Color attributes and special characters can be used in |
          |  !short and long entries *only*, i.e. not in the link  |
          |            file or in any other keywords.              |
          +--------------------------------------------------------+

   A color attribute is in effect until it is changed or until the end of
   the line it appears in (whichever comes first).

   Example:
   The source line: This is in ^bbold^n, this is in ^a4Fwhite on red^n
   displays as    : This is in bold, this is in white on red

   Example:
   The source line: ^r xiv)                                   ^n
   displays as    :  xiv)                                   


   Some characters (carriage return, line feed, tabs) have special meanings
   in a source file. To display them, use the ^cNN combination.

   Example:
   The source line: ^c21seealso:'s are terminated by a CR character (^c0D)
   displays as    : !seealso:'s are terminated by a CR character (.)

   To display the ^ character, put ^^ (or ^c5E) in the source file.
