3. New LaTeX commands

We have defined some new LaTeX commands to simplify our work and to generate the contents pages and the frame pages in HTML.


3.1 xchapter

The three parameters of the \xchapter command are:

\xchapter{headline}{htmllabel}{optional headline}

If third parameter is empty then in the contents files of HTML the headline will be used. If the third parameter is not empty then this will be used in the contents files as headline. Compare the headline for this section. In the contents files appears Commands whereas in the HTML text appears New LaTeX commands.

Note also that in the manual as well as in the LaTeX document \xchapter produces really a chapter whereas in the HTML files it just becomes another section.

Thus use the text between \xchapter and the first section as some kind of short introduction or for some information about the authors etc.


3.2 xsection

The three parameters of the \xchapter command are:

\xsection{headline}{htmllabel}{optional headline}

The meaning of the parameters is the same as in \xchapter.


3.3 xsubsection

The three parameters of the \xchapter command are:

\xsubsection{headline}{htmllabel}{optional headline}

The meaning of the parameters is the same as in \xchapter.


3.4 xlink

The parameter of the \xlink command is:

\xlink{xplorehelpfile}

The command is intended to set a link to a help file of a XploRe command or macro, e.g. \xlink{makehelp} which produces 178 makehelp. As you see automatically a relative link from the tutorial directory to the help directory is set and the small icon is inserted.

Please do not use \xlink in code fragments which are intended to copy and paste in the XploRe editor or command line!


3.5 tlink

The two parameters of the \tlink command are:

\tlink{tutorialfilename}{URL}

The command is intended to set a link to another tutorial of XploRe, e.g. \tlink{DLL tutorial}{dllframe} which produces DLL tutorial.
