This gzipped tar archive contains the fourth release of my hypertext
versions of the tcl and tk man pages. This version is based on the
tcl7.5a1 and tk4.1a1 releases of tcl and tk.
This is a customized conversion to html distinguished by things which
I thought would be useful in a hypertext manual:
Indexed by names
man pages indexed by the names described therein
rather than the name of the man page, so you can find
the description of something without knowing the
mangled name for its man page.
Long table of contents
which lists most of the structure found in the man
page, so you can get a summary and overview of large
man pages.
Suppressed long tables of contents
which omits the toc when it doesn't add much of value
to the man page itself.
Cross references to man pages
so you can, for instance, jump directly to
Tk_GetBitmap when wm iconbitmap directs you there for
details on bitmap formats.
Cross references to the standard options
standard Tk configuration options are linked to their
paragraph in the options man page, so you can jump
directly, for instance, to the hightlightThickness
definition from any widget command that uses it.
Indexed by keywords
man page keyword sections are used to build another
index into the manual pages.
Give them a spin at:
http://www.elf.org/tcltk-man-html/contents.html
and if you find them useful, feel free to install the hypertext
sources locally so you can get the quick response which makes this a
really useful programmer's reference.
