Paths and Nodes

The commands INDEX, HELP, NEXT, PREV, TOC and the all purpose hypertext link specify other nodes to jump to. They all support the naming of nodes within the current document, but they also all support a path along with that name which lets the node be located in any Amigaguide document. It is really the essence of the simple. To access a node in another document, simply put an AmigaDOS file path before the node name. You do not need a complete path including a volume name, if you are sure that the file is going to be where it should be (generaly, if it is not in the same directory as the main document, you should use a full path, maybe an assigned volume name). Some example paths are: "s:help.guide/main", "Amigaguide.guide/Copyright". If you are running AmigaOS 3.0 or above, you can jump to any file that is supported by Datatypes - pictures, animation, anything. You must still give a "node" name, even though the file is not an Amigaguide file and has no "nodes" - so just use "main": "picture.iff/main".
