Gtkdialog Tutorial Manual 1.2

Oct 3 - Updated to version 1.4
Oct 7 -Updated to version 1.6
Oct 10 - updated to version 1.7
Oct 12 - updated to version 1.8
Oct 16 - updated to version 1.9
Oct 19 - updated to version 2.0
Oct 28 - updated to version 2.1
Nov 6 - updated to version 2.2
Dec 2 - updated to version 2.23


I've been working for the past week on a manual for Gtkdialog
scripting that would be suitable for beginners.

It's based on Mendel Cooper's Advanced Bash-Scripting Guide.

It launches from 'Documents' in the start menu. The user will see an
index. Most of the links should work :lol:

The user should have a background in bash scripting basics.
But it's not that hard..

Pet package --->

-added a couple of new pages ( tips page and input directive)
-rewrote the text to make explanations clearer
-put in credits to Sigmond and Thunor


Note: Anyone who wants to contribute an example should
send it to me for inclusion. I like short scripts that
demonstrate a principle.

Don`t click on the download button, you won`t get anything but an error.

Just right-click and "Save Link As".

Thanks Don570...

Have you thought about putting this in version control somewhere?
Maybe in markdown format or something?

Are you writing it directly in html?

No. I am taking Mendel Cooper's work and modifying it
with Composer. That's why it looks like Advanced bash manual by
Mendel Cooper.

I don't have the training to do html pages.

version 1.9

1) Previous package had packaging problem

2) Page added to explain the building of button with a function

3) Neat text editor example added

4) Added font-family to SVG images because I found problems
in displaying text in Porteus distribution

5) I made a special version for Porteus distribution ---> It requires
a special command to open the pages with the default browser.
I posted it on first post (also on Porteus forum).
