Thanks.
Checking.
The outer links to MSDN works well

..am thinking of having the "alpha, as beta" 🤔
We don't have a newer beta than the currently stable, so the "beta mode" ( so to call it ) is free right now, and that way can compare the way it is with the ways is going to be.
Also, I can have the rest of my scripts running without a complain of something been different if it was, and convenient because SciTE has the run beta, etc. beta.

So yes, decompress to the beta folder ( that don't exist in my case ) and add the missing files that don't come in the alpha zip from stable/production and treat it as beta.

- ..good thinking @argumentum
- Thank you.

 

P.S.: I should have a script doing all this but am just thinking out loud for now.

@jpm
Thanks. I found some issues.

Some files do not use

target="_blank"

like:

file_name_and_path.htm
controls.htm

 

btw.
I'm temporarily having problems logging into SVN (I'm staying in touch with Jon)

Also found issue in ComRef.htm
in this part:

<p>More script examples using COM Event functions can be found via this <a href="http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/files/beta/autoit/COM/" target=
  "_blank">URL</a>.</p>

I also notice some not usuall changes.

Sorry for my direct question: Why were margins added? 

AutoIt.chm 3.3.18.0 :

AutoIt.chm alpha version:

 

 

EDIT:

After checking again, I see that everything is centered and looking to be more responsive.
But is it possible to do it without this margin—or at least with a smaller margin?

This uses the CSS of the web site's help and Jon preferred to limit the width because he as a widescreen monitor and watches the browser in full screen.
I prefer it without width but it don't look so neat in full screen.

Now you are ok as long as the left margin is not so large. But it is just centered.

Make a CSS you like and share it
I'll use it in my test site, or you make one, and we ask Jon how he feels about it.

P.S.: I suck at CSS, and anything with a color and/or a size 😒

Well done, jpm
Just one thing, Help file, topic StringRegExp : the list of 12 metacharacters is now correctly updated, i.e. # has been removed and ) has been added.

Please don't forget to update the same list found in topic StringReplace (remarks section)
Thanks

Thanks JPM,

Doing a quick click through of the chm, I noticed there is a stray "s" at the end of Obj/COM  Reference. In the "COMmonly mixed up terms" heading, after the last list item (.NET)

Edit: In Send Key List, there is a broken "td>" tag, at the end of the list,

Quote

used at least for Hungarian keyboard for  "͢ or "�/td>

 

Edit 2: As @mLipok mentioned, there's several files that have links that don't use "target="blank"". If someone else doesn't beat me to it, I can make and post a list of files/links if wanted.
