HTML-Viewer (Help File)
Posted: Wed Aug 14, 2019 9:12 am
Hi all!
Someone explains the DM42 to younger people as "smartphone without phone". I'm interested in any further use of the DM42 even if a smartphone does it better.
The DM42 has an excellent but undocumented HTML-File-Viewer, which can be used to view own content (cheat sheets, e-books, web-content ...). All discussion regarding this topic I found was in viewtopic.php?t=1902.
It seems that the file name has to be in the HELP directory and named "dm42help.htm". Links inside this document are allowed but not outside . Some features (simple tables, text with black or gray background, bold text, italic text, superscript text but not subscript) and special characters (ie non breaking space, angle sign, gray block) are possible.
So I tried to modify (simplify and extend) the help file (which surely was not intendet by the inventor) with all features I found. Thanks in advance for any completion.
To edit the file I recommend an editor which can handle line feeds (Unix LF and not Windows CR+LF). The later one confuses the DM42-html-viewer when representing line breaks.
