Each editorwindow is assigned to one text. Two attributs ar important several editorwindows exist: the focus and the marking of one of them to be the maindocument ----- The focus ownes the editorwindow, which was at last in the forground. All actions outside of the editorwindows opened will effect only the one having the focus. An Example for actions may be "text searching". One way to give one editorwindow the focus is by mousebuttons. ----- If you have made on editorwindow a maindocument, all calls for extern programms like latex, xdvi, dvips and ghostview are directed to this document. In this case only the document of the maindocument gets compiled, so it should be executable for latex, while the others don't need to. If no editorwindow is declared to be the maindocument, each editorwindow behaves as if it is the only one. ----- The window consists of the following components : a menubar / popupbar (Only Windows) a buttonbar and an input field. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ usage of the buttonbar ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ From left to right : a "picture", Save, Save As, latex, xdvi, dvips, ghostview, ispell, Syntax, Quit and last but not least a display "L.C. ?.?" ----- "picture" The picture shows you the attributes of the editorwindow. If it has the focus it you see a picture of some circular waves. If it is colored (yellow/red) it is marked to be the maindocument. You can make an editorwindow a maindocument by mouse click on the picture. A second click removes the attribute to be a maindocument. ----- Save You know this, simply save this document in a file assignend to the editorwindow. If there is no file assigned "Save As" is executed instead. ----- Save As Save a document into a file you choose and assign it the actual editorwindow. ----- latex Executes "Save" for this editorwindow. Only it's document get's saved. Then the program latex is executed with the assigned file. If a maindocument exists as defined above the file assigned to it is executed instead. latex produces the file with extention dvi, the error output of latex is piped into the helpwindow of Tcltexed. (if there accures an error under unix you must stop latex by pressing "q" and "RETURN") To make it easier to create an index, with the latex-commands \makeindex \index etc. the program makeindex is started automaticly if a suiting filename with extension idx exists. ----- xdvi Executes xdvi (or an other viewer) for to view the last latex outputfile. Normaly the viewers reload the actual document if you produce a new dvi file, so you have to start this only on time. ----- dvips Makes a output for ghostscript printer out of the dvi file. The output will be saved into a file with extension ps. ----- ghostview Executes ghostview a viewer for ghostscript files with the last dvips outputfile. ----- ispell Executes "Save" for this editorwindow. Only it's document get's saved. Then ispell an interactive spell checker is executed and it's output reloaded into the editorwindow. ----- Syntax Syntax Highlightning, all textarrays starting with \ are supposed to be LaTeX-commands. If this command is known it's letters gets green, if not red. But be carefull, it doesn't look after the number of brackets behind the command. (latex will do that for you !) If it's text to be ignored (starting with %), the text get blue. For many green marked commands exists a short description. ----- Quit Close this editorwindow. If modified it request's if it realy should do so without saving before. ----- Display Shows you the position of the curser (line and row). One "line" is here defined as a number of letters follewd by a "RETURN", not as the number of real lines displayed by the editorwindow. If you press this Button, a window opens, with which you can change the position of the curser manualy by numbers. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Usage of th menubar / popupbar ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The menubar exists only if you use Windows and tcl/tk 8.x. Menubar and popupbar implement the same functions. Pressing the right mousebutton opens the popupbar. From top to bottom listed (left to right) : Undo, Cut, Copy, Paste, Clear, Block, + % und - %. ----- Undo For to undo most of your last actions within the text. (I hopfully think so) In lack of infinity memory recources you can't undo everything. ----- Cut, Copy, Paste, Clear Bearbeitet den mit Maus selektierten Bereich, ratet mal was da passiert ... . Die Aktionen sind Windows und X-Window kompatibel. (theoretisch) ----- Spell Marks all not right spelled words in your text with a red color. ----- Nearly Takes the word which the curser is within and displays a list of words which nearly match this word. ----- Block Makes out of the selected aria a "Block - aria" ala Borland. ----- + % Inserts at the beginning of each selected line %, but only if there doesn't exist one. -> easy way to mark lines for latex to be ignored ----- - % The other way around as "+ %". ----- ... Looks for LaTeX-command matching with letters between the last "\" and the curser. Only commands marked under "Options -> packages" are listed here. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Usage of the inputfield ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hey that's the part each editor has, don't ask silly questions. (look for Editor-keymap for some key combinations) ----- Spelling If you wanna register a word as right spelled, you have to set the curser on it and make a double click on the left button of your mouse. ----- Examples for automatical complition of LaTeX-commands \fra ---> \frac{}{} \enumerate ---> \begin{enumerate} \item \end{enumerate} Compiltion of brackets { ---> {} $ ---> $$ ----- For \begin and \end the name of the enviroment will be inserted as below : \beg ---> \begin{} \end{} \bege ---> \begin{e} \end{e} \begenum ---> \begin{enum} \end{enum} ----- If some text is selected by mouse and you press "\" than gets this not deleted as usualy done, but gets some brackets inserted around the selected text. @ 1.1 log @Initial revision @ text @d38 1 a38 1 a "picture", Save, Save As, latex, xdvi, dvips, ghostview, Syntax, Quit d82 5 @
