thinBasic PDF help (preview)

[ErosOlmi]

Hi all.

Because LanceGary asked about a PDF version of thinBasic help (http://community.thinbasic.com/index.php?topic=1289.msg17645#msg17645), here it is a preliminary version.
I still have to tune layout and pagination but worth to publish.

As you may know we create thinBasic help material with Help&Manual application. This program let you create with just one source help code different output. The problem is tuning each of the output layout. So far .CHM and .HTML were very easy tuning. PDF version requires a little more setup

Anyway, let me know.

Hi Eros,

1222 pages ... :D
I like it, I will try to come with something similar soon for TBGL, to not make Lance wait too long.

Hmm. A problem I've had before with this site. I can only seem to download about half the file, and then the downloading is aborted. Do you have a mirror site? Sorry about this, especially after your magnificent effort in putting it together.

Hi Gary,

here an alternative url: www.thinbasic.org/public/applications/thinbasic/thinBasic_Help(PDF).zip
We are able to produce a PDF in short time because we use a software that allow this to be quite straightforward: Help & Manual (http://www.helpandmanual.com/)

Anyway, PDF version is still to be fixed and many layout parts so expect a better paginated help in next version.

Ciao

Hi Eros -

Please accept my apologies - I had to sign off my machine and do other things. yes I did manage to download from the new URL. I should have answered immediately - I'm sorry for any keeping you waiting.

Thanks again for your help

Lance
