suggesting the newLISP manual as CHM

Hello Lutz,
could you make the manual available as separate HTML files?
I would like to use the to be compiled CHM file in text editors to achieve context sensitive help in.
TIA

The newLISP reference in newlisp_manual.html has been formatted using simple HTML and is easy to parse. E.g. the file newlisp-x.x.x/util/nls contains the following function to give online help:
Code: Select all
(define (help func-name)
(if (find func-name "|+*-") (push "\\" func-name))
(set 'html-text (join (find-all (format {(syntax: \(%s.*?\))} func-name)
(read-file "/usr/share/doc/newlisp/newlisp_manual.html")) "\n"))
(replace "<.*?>" html-text "" 0)
(replace "<" html-text "<")
(replace ">" html-text ">")
(replace "&" html-text "&")
(println html-text)
"")
People have written scripts breaking the reference apart into chunks for each function.
If help is executed in nls (newLISP shell integrating UNIX Bourne shell and LISP repl), it looks like this on Mac OS X:
Code: Select all
MAIN:/Users/lutz> help pri
syntax: (primitive? exp)
syntax: (print exp-1 [exp-2 ... ])
syntax: (println exp-1 [exp-2 ... ])
MAIN:/Users/lutz>
Another method to get to Windows CHM files would be, to start with a newlisp_manual.doc (MS Word) file generated from the newlisp_manual.html file. I posted a newlisp_manual.odt (OpenOffice Document format) here:
http://www.newlisp.org/newlisp_manual.odt
This file is used to generate the PDF version of the manual. You could convert it to .doc using OpenOffice and then use an MS utility to convert the .doc file to CHM. I used to do this back in the times when newLISP was only available on MS-Windows.

hello kukma.
I tried to make the newLISP.chm, and this is it.
http://cloud.github.com/downloads/kosh0 ... ewLISP.chm
But its simply comvert *.html to chm file,
so cannot use keyword-search and so on...

Hello all,

Kosh, I have not directly included source from the distribution yet.
Planned is to add some source from the internet as well.
Have fun!

Hi,
though still for before newLISP 10.2 versions I have uploaded the files and some more to Rapidshare.
On trees4all all files given above will be deleted.
http://2ro082kv1q.rapidsafe.de/ describes the files.

In the compiled programs not all of the DLLs are needed.
You are encouraged to compile the project in chm_-_GTK__Reference_Manual_2.18.7.zip yourself.
There will be required only some minor corrections.
Best regards
