Bind is software to create html books; that is, a series of webpages each constituting a chapter. Navigation-links between the pages and a contents-page are produced automatically. The appearance of the pages is governed by a theme. Two themes are provided, as examples for those brave enough to try producing their own.
The purpose of Bind is to provide a rudimentary system, that avoids the tedious detail of hand-coding html. No knowledge of html or css is required for creating html books with Bind. On the other hand, Bind can easily be extended to provide further features.
Double-click on !bind. A window will open showing the themes available.
Double-clicking a theme will open a dialog box containing two slots and a greyed-out icon.
Into the top slot (Target) drag the directory in which the html book is to be created.
Into the bottom slot (Source) drag the source directory.
The name of this directory will be taken as the title of the book, and it should contain text files, one for each chapter.
The syntax for chapter-descriptions will be the topic of the next page. When both slots are filled the icon of the chosen theme will appear. Click it to create the book.
