This version of WebWriter/2 has built in support for Craig
Berry's Orb program. Orb is an HMTL pre-processor which 
can greatly simplify the process of creating and maintaining
web sites. More information on Orb can be found at:

  http://www.cinenet.net/users/cberry/orbinfo.html


WW/2 will look first for an ORBDIR Environment variable to
see if Orb is installed, if this is not found, WW/2 will 
then look for orb.exe in a directory named Tools located
inside the WW/2 directory (e.g., C:\WebWrite\Tools). If
orb.exe is found to exist in one of these locations, the Orb
menu options will appear under the Tools menu in the edit 
window and the Windows menu in the Window manager.

The preview function for .orb files has not been implemented
in this version of WW/2.


Following is a brief description of the Orb integration and
functionality supported by WebWriter/2. For an explanation of
specific Orb features and a general explanation of how Orb
works, consult the documentation that accompanies Orb.

_____________________________________________________________

The Window manager currently offers the following Orb menu
option:

        New Orb project

Selecting this option will open an empty Orb project notebook.

The Tools menu in the edit window offers these option for Orb:

        New Orb project
        Edit Orb project...
        Orb directives
        Orb variables

The "Orb directives" option is a submenu which provides access
to the same.

The "Orb variables" option is a submenu which provides access
to the same.

"New Orb project" opens an empty Orb project notebook.

"Edit Orb project..." will prompt for an .orp file to open
and then open it in an Orb project notebook.


Orb project notebook:

Files page:

    This page is used to specify which files are part of the
    project. Files can be added using the Add... button or
    by drag&drop. Edit... will open the file in a WW/2 edit
    window.

Variables page:

    Used to define -D command line options. Add, Remove, &
    Edit work pretty much as you would expect.

Includes page:

    Used to define -I command line options. Again Add,
    Remove, & Edit work as one would expect. Directories
    may be added via drag&drop.

Options page:

    Output Extension:
        used with -x cmd line option

    Output case:
        used with -C cmd line option

    Messages:
        Quiet mode = -q
        Normal mode = no switch
        Verbose mode = -v

        This will control, as you might expect, the 
        quantity of output generated in the console
        window when the project is made.

    Line splicing
        Enable splicing = no switch
        Disable splicing = -s


Menu Options:

    These all do pretty much what one would expect. The 
    Revert option will reload the original .orp file.

    Make project will start the make process (this does
    not use nmake.exe) and the output will be displayed
    in a console window and also redirected to a log
    file. The console window must be closed before 
    continuing to work with the project.
