rewrote the readme.html?

It hasn't been updated in eons, and I really don't have anything better to do... If anyone has any suggestions for me, please let me know. I'm looking at doing a slight restructure to make it more easily navigable, plus some pointers on how to compile (nothing too specific -- still want people to use their brains -- probably just going to pull info from posts here and stick em there), as well as add an Index at the end, as a quick-reference guide sort of thing.

Yeah, like people ACTUALLY read manuals..

Duh :roll:

Go ahead imo, knock yourself out.

I think it would be great.
If you need any help, I posted some of things that I noticed might need changed in this thread:

Go for it, I like a manual, especially for reference.

And just to make it standard and stuff, make the examples in the manual conform to the standards.
I'm sure someone knows those standards better than me ;)

Name:
/delay - Pauses the macro for the defined amount of time.

Synopsis:
/delay int time[string suffix]
Time is in 10th. of a second.
Suffixes can be:
s = seconds.
m = minutes.

Example:
/delay 5
- Pauses the macro for 5/10 seconds.
/delay 5s
- Pauses the macro for 5 seconds.
/delay 5m
- Pauses the macro for 5 minutes.

That's what I'm trying to turn it into, more of a reference, with an index and everything.


And thanks DK, that'll definately help :)

Would love to see a manual update. I still use it as reference even tho it's half outdated, a new one would rock.
