Scribe to HTML: Chapter and Section Buttons

Producing HTML Documents with Scribe

(Prev) (Next)

7. Chapter and Section Buttons

The chapter and section buttons are produced by including inline GIF images. The Scribe string buttondir names the directory where the buttons are kept. The default is "/digital/pics/icons/", which you can change permanently by editing html.lib, or in each document by specifying:

@string(buttondir="/pics/icons/")
 
The path name must be relative to the HTTP daemon's DocumentRoot, since it is used to form a URL, not a file name.

The following button names are used:

The "-dim" icons are used for links that don't exist (i.e., "next" link from the last page). The "fast-" icons are used for chapter links.
