Changes
With the release of Workbench 3.0, and the creation of the datatypes system, many changes were made to Amigaguide.
With the creation of the datatypes system, a hyperlink can now point to any file (though it will only be displayed if a datatype is available for that filetype).
The @{alink} tag now behaves the same as the @{link} tag, as it was considered bad practice to open new windows without the user's permission.
As a result, the @{close} and @{quit} tags no longer work.
New global tags and commands
These can be placed outside of a node, on their own lines.
- @wordwrap
-
Wraps paragraphs without linefeeds.
Example:
@wordwrap - @xref
-
Specifies other amigaguide documents to refer to.
Example:
@xref "Documents:Amigaguide/safalra.guide"
New node-level tags and commands
These are placed inside a node, on their own lines, and effect the whole node.
- @embed
-
Embeds a text document withing this node.
Example:
@embed "Documents:Text/speech.txt" - @proportional
-
Specifies that a proportional font is used for this node.
Example:
@proportional - @wordwrap
-
The same as the global
@wordwrapcommand, but only effects this node. Example:@wordwrap
New local tags and commands
These can be placed anywhere within a node.
- @{b}
-
Turns on bold text.
Example:
@{b} - @{beep}
-
Specifies a hypertext link that makes a ‘beep’ sound when clicked.

@{"Click me to beep" beep} - @{guide}
-
Specifies a hypertext link to another amigaguide document.
Example:
@{"Another amigaguide document" guide "Document:Amigaguides/safalra.guide"} - @{i}
-
Turns on italic text.
