overkill imho. text, pdf, html, all works and word can do those. all I need is ctrl+f to have a useful documentation. if sum1 cant use these he cant code 6510 either. :) |

for a java program i'd not even think and use javadoc. if only because everyone does the same and solving a problem using google is a breeze.
and i'd strongly advice against using someones personal favourite - if it isnt one of the two majorly used ones =)
that said, vice uses TeX with texinfo - you can generate lots of different target formats with that. |

Javadoc doesn't make sense for KickAss, since it's not a Java API, but a program that interprets something very different. Too bad there still don't seem to be any perfect solutions for writing a document in PDF and HTML in one go. But I think HTML would be sufficient. PDF is mostly targeted for printing, but who really needs that? |

Question:
Is there a fancyschmancy way to do this:
.const SomeString = "abcdef"+toHexString($1234)
Thus producing the new string: "abcdef4r"
where "4r" is a lo-hi byte (as it would go into memory) presentation of $1234 ($34 = "4" & $12 = "r")?
Oh and a minor suggestion: Please index your manual for kickass. links and a content list on the side would make the manual world class ;-) |

On the top of my head, and I bet there exists a fancier way =)
.const table = "@ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ[\]^_ !\"#$%&'()*+,-./0123456789:;<=>?"
.function byteToString(val){
.return table.charAt(val).string()
}
.function wordToString(val){
.return byteToString(<val) + byteToString(>val)
}
.const SomeString = "ABCDEF" + wordToString($1234)
.print SomeString

@Ruk: That would of course require a 256 chars long table to avoid index out of bound. |

It was merely a proof of concept. But yes, it will break easily. AND:ing 'val' with $3F keeps you in range I suppose =) |

TWW: Im working on a new setup for the manual. Clickable table of contents and clickable list of directives are part of it.
Overkill?, Perhaps so. But Word have been bugging me for some time now, and integrating pdf+html generation in the builder will make new releases easier in the long run. |

@ Ruk: Thanx for pointing me in the right direction. I can do hi and lobytes from $00 to $40 8-D.
I'm not sure how I would succeed with and'ing to rid the two MSBs though. Is there a way to build the complete tabel somehow instead of manually typing it?
@ Cruiser: Yeah, and how to fricking fill in the rest of the "special and inverted characters".
@ Slammer: Nice! Looking forward to it. It's a good manual.
So I then have a refined question;
Is there a way to go from a byte (00-ff) to the corresponding petscii character without using a lookup table within the script language (probably not but can't hurt to ask)?
ex:
.print char(0) = "@"
.print char(3) = "C"
etc. |

@TWW: Yeah, that's what I was thinking from the start. :)
@Slammer: KickAss IS overkill, that's what makes it awesome :) |
