9 - Bookreader Books and Libraries

Access to DEC's Bookreader format documentation (and any generated internally) is provided in the WASD hypertext environment via two integrated scripts, HyperReader, which reads the books, and HyperShelf, which reads the Library and Shelf structures.

The HyperReader and HyperShelf scripts are automatically activated when the document file's extension is .DECW$BOOK and .DECW$BOOKSHELF respectively. Alternatively, the respective scripts may be explicitly specified (but the ability to provide a relative specification is lost). The following examples illustrate the syntax:

  <A HREF="wasdhyp.decw$book">This document from Bookreader</A>
  <A HREF="wasdhyp.decw$bookshelf">The shelf DEC Document creates for this</A>

  <A HREF="/HyperReader/ht_root/doc/hfrdhyp/wasdhyp.decw$book">
    This document from Bookreader</A>
  <A HREF="/HyperShelf/ht_root/doc/hfrdhyp/wasdhyp.decw$bookshelf">
    The shelf DEC Document creates for this document</A>
