User guide

Normal Mode: uses a fixed column width of 80 characters. Any lines longer than 80 will be word wrapped. This mode supports 30,000 lines of text, and is designed primarily for viewing text files that dont need word-wrapping.

Novel Mode: designed for viewing novels, or ebooks. It allows text wrapping and automatically aligns chapters to the start of pages. This mode supports up to 60,000 lines of text (roughly a 1200 page novel).

Text Switches is Incorporated, allowing user to manipulate text files. There are currently only two switches available. To use a switch you must start a line with [\ followed by the switch command letter, and then the corresponding parameters.

Switches:

[\C<Chapter Name>]

Creates a chapter at the current line. Example usage: [\CChapter 1 - It Begins]

[\M<Mode>]

Forces the program to use a specified display mode. This only works if it is at the very start of the text file.

Where <Mode> equals:

0 = Normal Mode
1 = Novel Mode

Example usage: [\M1]
