I've included the official documentation from IBM inside the fpGUI repository. https://github.com/graemeg/fpGUI/tree/develop/docview/docs The file you'll be most interested in will be: IPFREF_v4.INF The docview.inf file also contain a small section "For Authors and Developers" on writing IPF files, but I would recommend the IBM document instead. The latter has a LOT more detail. There is much to read, but I would start with the following sections: * Starting with the Tag Language * Displaying Text and Graphics * IPF Tag Reference The second section will probably be the most useful and then using the Tag Reference to look up any other syntax and more options for each tag syntax. As I'm NOT using the IBM IPF Compiler, but rather the OpenWatcom IPF Compiler, the symbols don't all have to be escaped as the IBM docs describe. fpGUI's repository contains more examples for you: * a Quick Guide to fpGUI (ebook) in <fpgui>/docs/quick_quide/ * Various files in <fpgui/docs/ * Docview's application help <fpgui/docview/docs/ Regards, Graeme -- fpGUI Toolkit - a cross-platform GUI toolkit using Free Pascal http://fpgui.sourceforge.net/ My public PGP key: http://tinyurl.com/graeme-pgp _______________________________________________ mseide-msegui-talk mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mseide-msegui-talk
