Syntax for use in datalinks:
Lines beginning with “;” are comments in the files and are not displayed.
For display text, lines should be 200 characters long or less to avoid being cut-off by the graphical frame.
Carriage returns are ignored, rather lines beginning with “^” begin on new lines.
Lines beginning with “^^” are centered.
Text bracketed in “{” and “}” characters highlights the enclosed text by changing its color (from #749c38 to #b8c060 at default gamma settings).
Data link article titles are listed at the head of help(x).txt and concept(x).txt with the articles below listed below sequentially and numbered: “#CONCEPT33”. Links from one article to another are called using the text “$LINK<some text here=33>” where “some text here” is the text to be displayed and “33” is the number of the article.
