| <h2>Introduction</h2> |
| <p>Please use strict, but simple, HTML formatting. Be sure to wrap |
| your paragraphs in <p></p> tags.</p> |
| |
| <h2>How to present code</h2> |
| <p>When including code snippets use preformatted style as below. In |
| general try to avoid using specific fonts.</p> |
| |
| <pre>public void createPartControl(Composite parent) { /* [1] */ |
| label = new Label(parent, 0); |
| label.setText("Hello World"); / * [2] */ |
| getViewSite().getPage().addSelectionListener(this); |
| }</pre> |
| |
| <p>Consider annotating your code, if necessary using comments |
| appropriate for the language.</p> |
| |
| <p>In the preceding example, [1] is the signature of the method and |
| [2] sets text of the label.</p> |
| |
| <h2>Other useful text samples</h2> |
| <p>The <i>images/</i> subdirectory of this template also contains |
| several images you may want to use. Below are the images and a simple |
| example of their use.</p> |
| <p>1) An image to indicate a tip for the user.</p> |
| <blockquote> |
| <p><img src="images/tip.gif" width="62" height="13"> Always |
| put your snowman in the freezer before summer.</p> |
| </blockquote> |
| <p>2) An image to indicate a point in the article where the user may |
| want to run a quick test to see their progress.</p> |
| <blockquote> |
| <p><img src="images/tryit.gif" width="61" height="13"> Choose |
| Instant Article from the pop-up menu and confirm our article creation |
| wizard opens.</p> |
| </blockquote> |
| <p>3) Images to indicate platform specific behavior.</p> |
| <blockquote> |
| <p><img src="images/win_only.gif" width="49" height="13"> On |
| Windows the splash screen is represented using BMP files.</p> |
| <p><img src="images/linux_only.gif" width="49" height="13"> On |
| Linux the splash screen is represented using XPM files.</p> |
| </blockquote> |
| <h2>Source Code</h2> |
| <p>Always include a link to your zip file containing the source |
| code. You may want to include a section titled <b>Source Code</b> (as we |
| have done here) with the text shown below. Remember to ensure the zip |
| file does <b>not</b> include eclipse/plugins in the path of files; it |
| should only include only your plug-in directory name. Users will assume |
| they can unzip the plug-in directly into their <i>plugins </i>directory. |
| Here is some sample text:</p> |
| <p>To run the example or view the source code for this article unzip |
| <a href="your_filename.zip">your_filename.zip</a> into your <i>plugins/ |
| </i>subdirectory.</p> |
| <p> </p> |
| <h2>Did you remember?</h2> |
| <p>Don't remember to update the following:</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li><title>....</title> of the article - this is |
| typically shown in the tile of a web browser</li> |
| <li>author & company name</li> |
| <li>date</li> |
| <li>copyright text</li> |
| </ul> |
| <p>Did you remember to avoid using specific fonts - try to only use |
| the main styles (performatted, italic, H1, H2 etc.).<br> |
