Here is a small implementation of a text based paged manual dialog for tool developers. Some more advanced tools obviously need some explanation, but it’s sometimes a pain to read (Epic Arpeggiator cough 
). So now having a small manual is as easy as including a lua file into your project and adding a textfile. The code is provided as example tool and should be pretty self explaining. Supported are:
- Plain text viewing without a navigation. - A paged text file with navigation. If a line contains a phrase surrounded by double @@, it will be used as new page break. The text between the double @@ is used as navigation item text in the top list. An example would be “@@Introduction@@:”. The line containing the break will still be displayed in the page text, but the @ chars are stripped away. - A paged text file with a header and navigation. This is kinda similar to the normal paged text, but if the first lines don’t contain a page break, lines will be added to the header until a page break is found. A header is always visible on each manual page, but only needs to be written once at the top in the text file.
