Hi,

if you have a little time here are few issues in help file:

- "How to use" could mention thinAir

- thinBasic language\
- "Data types and variables" should defintely mention ability to multiassign to array - A(1) = 1, 2, 3. This feature rocks :)

- no information on SUBs ( except DECLARE SUB, maybe I have searched wrong )

thinBasic language\Data types and variables\TYPE
- there is sentence "We are working to implement recursive TYPEs", but I think it is already implemented :)

thinBasic language\Modules\DT
- generally in different topics there is no syntax highlighting
- DT_Hour has wrong code snippet, should be


'--- Result: 12
MsgBox 0, DT_Hour("12:13:14")


thinBasic language\Modules\EVAL
- Eval_GetString has no help

thinBasic language\Modules\Resources
- very little help

Nothing of it is high priority now, but it would be nice to have it complete before number of help topics grow too much.


Thanks,
Petr

P.S. Isn't there something wrong with GeShi syntax highlight ?

Thanks Petr. I will work right now on all points mentioned.

Geshi, yes, seems something not working fine. I've noted that using | sign let Geshi get crazy.
I will check if there is an updated module version for SMF.

I've updated Geshi syntax highlighter for the forum. It seems a little faster to parse posts with source code inside.
I've also found the problem related to not correct coloring some sources. It was due to the introduction of | char for OR keyword. For thinBasic now | is a keyword while for Geshi it is a delimiter. I've removed it from GeShi and now source code parsing in forum seems OK.

Back to help file now.

Ciao
Eros
