Re: [Pharo-users] Pharo 1.2.1 and ProfStef

by Torsten Bergmann

Hi, these requirements have nothing to do with a help system and is more oriented towards a "teaching Smalltalk" tool HelpBrowser should stay generic as possible. One addition I can imagine in the future is to use rich text (HTML) instead of plain ASCII, of we find the time to look at Scamper again. However a few notes: - you can subclass HelpBrowser or implement another tool "TutorialBrowser" using HelpBrowser as template - highlighting: PluggableTextMorph is used, see PluggableTextMorph>>defaultViewerClass which can be overwritten by subclasses dont know if PluggableTextMorph supports SH out of the box after the recent shout refactoring (I think there is now also SmalltalkEditor) - a help book is a tree, displaying page numbers makes more sense for linear tutorials like ProfStef, doesnt it? - see HelpBrowser>>initWindow to see how the UI is done again you can overwrite it in subclasses or after a super call adjust the UI Did you ever try ScriptManager (WorldMenu - Tools - ScriptManager) It has Syntax highl. out of the box and you can save the results in files. Should be easy to extend with buttons if you need too.

I think this may be useful for all HelpSystem books.... Torsten, what do you think ? Indeed, to create a navigator just evaluate: DockingBarMorph new addMorph: (UITheme builder newButtonFor: ProfStef action: #last label: '>>' help: 'Last lesson'); addMorph: (UITheme builder newButtonFor: ProfStef action: #next label: '>' help: 'Next lesson'); addMorph:(UITheme builder newButtonFor: ProfStef action: #previous label: '<' help: 'Previous lesson'); addMorph: (UITheme builder newButtonFor: ProfStef action: #first label: '<<' help: 'First lesson'); addMorph: (UITheme builder newLabel: 'ProfStef navigator'); adhereTo: #top; color: (Color white alpha: 0.4); borderWidth: 0; openInWorld. Should be fun to have it in the tutorial :) Laurent. > Markus > >

Pharo 1.2.1 and ProfStef

by Markus Schlager

Hi all, I'm teaching smalltalk to my pupils using a ProfStef-tutorial (http://www.lsh-marquartstein.de/schule/unterricht/faecher/informatik/unterr…) Currently we're using pharo 1.1. In pharo 1.2 ProfStefBrowser obviously got replaced by another HelpBrowser. (What you get with Help->ProfStef Tutorials). I'm missing two things: - syntax-highlighting: Is there any way, I can activate this easily? - navigation-buttons and page-counter (at the moment, my tutorial has about 60 pages): any chance to get these back? Markus
