HFL files

by Howard Dortch · in Torque Game Engine · 02/18/2009 (4:01 pm) · 4 replies

I am trying to make a help file for a game and I want to list the key commands and their meaning. I would like to seperate things with a tab but it doesn't seem to work. Can someone tell me the magic to put in a TAB so I dont have to play the game of adding spaces till it looks right?
Here is what I did and it doesn't work.

For mine I used the <just:left> and <just:right> tags to make the keys listing line up nicely on the left and their action description to line up on the right.... It may be similar to what you're wanting. See part3 of my Implementing an About box and a Help Manual resource.

Lots of good info there but all I wanted was 3 column tab. I have a object and it breaks down into 2 parts so just wanted to list them like that. In the docs I have it says <tab:40,80,120> should work but ....
Thanks for a reply ...
