Is there a tool for checking my UDF header?

[c.haslam]

In creating a UDF header, I began SciTE > Tools > Make UDF header. I then followed the guidelines in the Wiki. Now I would like to check it for acceptability of the formatting. Is there a script I can run to see the UDF in a browser?

[c.haslam]

A second related question: How can I link to another UDF in a header?

[FrancescoDiMuro]

@c.haslam

I think that everything is "required" to do/know about making an UDF is here.

About your second question, what do you mean?

Would you like to click the text in the UDF header, and do some action?

There are some tools available to check and then extract the UDF header into another format. This is then used to create the help file.
I have downloaded a tool from the german forum which converts the UDF header into an HTML help file (please check OutlookEX.htm in my OutlookEX UDF).

If you like I can post the tools here.

This thread describes as well where to download.

The HTML tool can be found here: https://autoit.de/index.php?thread/83359-htmhelp-automatische-udf-dokumentation-04-08-2015-1-1-0/&postID=679823#post679823

Thank you both.

Francesco: I know that function names in the Related section are automatically converted to links. But I see one in the Parameters section of Help for _WinNet_EnumResources. How can I do this kind of thing in a UDF header?

And: I tried <at sign>FrancescoDiMuro but the cursor got stuck after the last o. What is the trick to doing this?

@c.haslam

For the first request, I really didn't understand you, sorry.

What are you trying to do now?

For the second question, are you referring to the "quote" of the person, like this? @c.haslam

This happens for me as well on occasion. Not sure how to prevent it from happening.

@Danp2
About "quoting" users on the forum?

@FrancescoDiMuro No, when manually typing the @ sign followed by the user name. Sometimes after selecting the name from the list of matching users, the cursor gets "stuck" and you can't type anything into the editor.

That is what happened to me. I am thinking that one should avoid indicating who one is answering with the at sign.

Regarding the link in a section of a UDF header other than "Related": please look at the Help for  _WinNet_EnumResources. In the Parameters  section I see that _WinEnumResources is a link. How did the author of this UDF get this to be a link?

I did not find what I need to be able to display a UDF header in Firefox (or IE).

In creating the UDF headers, I have tried to follow the instructions in www.autoitscript.com/wiki/UDF-spec. Now  I would like to be sure that what I have written would convert properly to HTML. So I need the tool that converts UDF headers from the format in the Wiki to html.

You offered to post a link to such a tool. Please do so. Danke. My UDF header has tables, continuation lines, etc. Also I am confused regarding what spaces in a UDF header are ignored.

[Danp2]

@c.haslam He already posted it earlier in the thread.

[c.haslam]

I tried following the link but got confused, perhaps because the link is to the German forum.

Thank you. I will now need to figure out how to adapt it to convert one UDF header to an HTML file. I do not see any documentation.
