To access several commands in one macro out of an html file

Post by ZeitenWanderer » Tue Apr 08, 2008 12:18 pm

Hi,

I am writing a laaarge helpfile for a huge program as an htm file. It might later be compiled as html help or not. At the moment it will stay a real html file.

Now I would like to write a macro, which would immediately take the user into one of the deeper parts of the program, the user is reading about.

Keyboard and mouse-clicks are easy, of course. The question is: If I do not want to write and compile several very small macros, is there a way that I can put them into one file (I know that one is) *and* access the several different commands in it, without having to run the others? Sort of like the anchor in HTML to jump to a certain position.
Now I need to run that tiny part and exit the macro.

Thanks for any hint.

You could have the macro set up to query the value of a command line parameter and jump accordingly. Then you simply run the same exe each time but pass a different value on the command line.
