| <h1>About This Manual</h1><p> |
| |
| The HTML version of the SWIG Users Manual is a direct translation |
| of the printed version which is produced using Framemaker 5. The |
| conversion process was roughly as follows : |
| |
| <ul> |
| <li> Raw HTML was produced using Framemaker 5 and Quadralay WebWorks Lite. |
| <li> Tables and figures were converted into GIF images. |
| <li> All of this output was fed into a magic Python script that cleaned |
| up the HTML source and merged the GIF figures into the text. |
| <li> A table of contents and alphabetized topic index were produced from |
| HTML heading tags by the same script. |
| </ul> |
| |
| While the conversion process is mostly complete, there are a few things |
| to keep in mind : |
| |
| <ul> |
| <li> Some sections of preformatted text may have weird formatting |
| problems. |
| <li> Framemaker tables were converted into GIF images instead |
| of HTML tables--this is a little weird, but the easiest |
| approach for now. |
| <li> There may be a few minor formatting problems throughout |
| due to minor "glitches" that slipped through the conversion process |
| (although I've tried to correct as many as these as possible). |
| <li> The printed version of the SWIG manual is more than |
| 300 pages long--resulting in about 670 Kbytes of HTML. The HTML version |
| is broken up into chapters. Each chapter is fairly well-contained, but |
| some may contain as many as 50 pages of printed text. |
| </ul> |
