help file on windows

[Tatsuro M. <tma...@ya...>]

Hello

I have found a topic in comp.graphics.apps.gnuplot

Tile: operators documentation

URL: http://groups.google.co.jp/group/comp.graphics.apps.gnuplot/browse_thread/thread/1fd95cbb2017f961

The help file bundled with the gnuplot 4.4.0 officially distributed had been made by me.

As reported in the above, spaces between Symbol and Example had seemed to be ignored. 

Symbol       Example      Explanation
**a**b          exponentiation
*a*b           multiplication
<snip>
.A.B           string concatenation
eq          A eq B        string equality
ne          A ne B        string inequality

Please note that in the case of 'eq' and 'ne' space seem to be inserted correctly.

I have look into corresponding part of gnuplot.rtf
\par
{\pard \plain \f1\fs20     Symbol       Example      Explanation}\par
{\pard \plain \f1\fs20       **          a**b          exponentiation}\par
{\pard \plain \f1\fs20       *           a*b           multiplication}\par
<snip>
{\pard \plain \f1\fs20       .           A.B           string concatenation}\par
{\pard \plain \f1\fs20       eq          A eq B        string equality}\par
{\pard \plain \f1\fs20       ne          A ne B        string inequality}\par


It seems to be spaces between characters like '*', '+',,, etc seemed to be ignored in my case.
The 'eq' and 'ne' consist of alphabet letters.  In the case, space seemed to be inserted in proper
way.

I have no definite reason mistranslating space in my case at the moment.

The version of Microsoft help workshop I am using is  4.03.0002.

For the help file for windows, the hlp format is not supported in the windows vista and 7.
It is better to use Microsoft Html Work shop, which generates help files  in '.chm' format.

However, it is time consuming work that I cannot commit it at the moment.

What I can do do is to upload gnuplot.rft generated from gnuplot.doc. It can be convert to help files
correctly by others.

Please give good suggestions on this matter.

Thank you for your reading my bad English.

Regards

Tatsuro
