Document Frame

If a project is to receive multiple documentations, perhaps with German and English comments, or if you want to document several similar projects that use the same variable names, then you can save yourself a lot of work by creating a docuframe with the ‘Extras’ ‘Make Docuframe File’command.

The created file can be loaded into a desired text editor and can be edited. The file begins with the DOCUFILE line. Then a listing of the project variables follows in an arrangement that assigns three lines to each variable: a VAR line that shows when a new variable comes; next, a line with the name of the variable; and, finally, an empty line. You can now replace this line by using a comment to the variable. You can simply delete any variables that you are unable to document. If you want, you can create several document frames for your project.

In order to use a document frame, give the ‘Extras’ ‘Link Docu File’ command. Now if you document the entire project, or print parts of your project, then in the program text, there will be an insertion of the comment produced in the docuframe into all of the variables. This comment only appears in the printout!
