About the Zipped Manual


A zipped version of the hBasic Manual is also found in the repository.

How to View the Zipped Manual

First, download the manual to your PC or Android device.
Extract the zip file using a zip program or file-manager.
There should be a directory called hmanual. The first page is index.html.

Reading on a PC
To read this manual on a PC with a web browser, open this page;
file://<your_path>hmanual/index.html inside the browser.

Reading on an Android Device

To read this manual on an Android device, you must open it from inside hBasic with a small program;

Move the hmanual directory to inside the hBasic data/ directory,
e.g /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.rfo.hbasic/rfo-basic/data/
You can do this with a capable file-manager e.g Total-Commander.

The run this program to view the manual;

html.open
html.load.url "hmanual/index.html"
DO
    DO : HTML.GET.DATALINK data$ : UNTIL data$ <> ""
    type$ = LEFT$(data$, 4)        % get type
    data$ = MID$(data$,5)         % get data

    sw.begin type$
    sw.case "LNK:"                % link tapped
        html.load.url data$     % load the new URL
        d_u.continue
    sw.case "ERR:"
        ? "Error "; data$
        d_u.break
    sw.case "BAK:"                % backKey 0=first page
        if data$="0" then d_u.break else HTML.go.back
        sw.break
    sw.end
    % ignore other types..
UNTIL 0
END

The above is a simple viewer that uses webview to browse the manual.

The program is needed because since Android 11+, outside apps are not able to view files inside another apps' scoped storage.
