Derek,
I don't know the best way forward - it might be useful to take the HTML
pages and convert them to WORD format, but that would make the document
much bigger - a lot of the automatic reformatting has already been done,
as you will have seen.
I would not do much else at the moment until there is some sort of
discussion as to what people want to make this most useful...

Hi Rich,
I do not much about CSS,WIKI, HTML...
I was coverting the manual to WORD format in LibreOffice, so that it
could be converted to HTML or maybe EPUB as well.
Do I stop doing this.
Regards,
Derek

Thank you Davide - Thomas Kral will soon upload the latest conversion
tool to the QL Forum.
Someone needs to look at the CSS and why the page edited by Dilwyn does
not display correctly on Firefox - see

Oggetto: [Ql-Users] SBASIC / SuperBASIC Reference Manual - Online
(HTML)
Thanks to some sterling work by tcat to further develop the automatic
conversion tool, the first version of the SBASIC/SuperBASIC Reference
Manual
is now online
at:
http://www.rwapsoftware.co.uk/SBASIC_reference_manual_online/Foreword.html
JOBS to do.... - volunteers are required, as I will not have time for
this -
it is now going to be a community project
If you don't come forward with changes, then they are unlikely to be
done!
a) Write a home page to form the main link to the manual
b) Improve CSS and layout
c) Some more work on the conversion tool to handle the non-English
characters - especially needed for Appendix 8 and 9.
d) tcat to add the latest version conversion tool source to the
forum for
comments / changes to be suggested and made - you might spot more
ways in
which it can be improved to reduce the amount of manual effort needed.
e) Volunteers to take ownership of a specific page and hand edit it to
improve the layout - remove some of the line breaks for example in each
paragraph.
If you download a page to edit the HTML in a WYSIWYG editor, you will
need
access to the CSS file:

le.css
If someone wants to set up some sort of online system where people can
edit
pages (eg. a wiki ?) then let me know and I can send a zip with all of
the
HTML files.
