How To Do Links
NearSited has this really nifty feature for doing links. Look at this:
- Test file (12 bytes)
- This is a test file. Click on it if you like, it doesn't do much.
Notice that you also get a 'Links' pane on the left for quick reference.
The following code fragment was used to generate the link.
@@@LINK@@@ Icon: text Datafile: test.txt Size: yes Title: Test file This is a test file. Click on it if you like, it doesn't do much. >
The following headers are understood by ns-render when generating HTML.
- Datafile
- Tells ns-render that the link points to a local file. Conflicts with URL. The file needs to be in the page's .dat directory.
- Icon
- Specifies the icon you want the link to have.
You can use one of binary (
![[BIN]](http://www.cowlark.com/binary.png)
); text (); link (![[TXT]](http://www.cowlark.com/link.png)
); or image (![[IMG]](http://www.cowlark.com/image.png)
). Alternatively, you can specify the path to
your own icon, but you must put the width and height afterwards, seperated by
spaces.
- Size
- Specifies whether you want the size of the file to be appended to the link name, as in the example. Only works if you use Datafile.
- URL
- Tells ns-render that the link points to an arbitrary URL, which is specified.
The link description goes after the headers, seperated by the usual blank line. It is terminated by a > by itself. The description is optional; this allows you to have several links in a row with the same description. See my GEOS software page for an example.
