Using @@description@@ in applet.html? (Read 1048 times)

Markavian Full Member Offline Posts: 174	Using @@description@@ in applet.html? May 4^th, 2005, 2:30am Hey, I noticed a *@@description@@ variable* in the /lib/applet.html template. How can this be used? I'm still playing with it to make it look like my website http://mkv25.net/. Kind regards, - Markavian

we oughta document this somewhere.. it's bured in the revisions file for rev 80 (not something i'd expect people to read to find out this info) but here's the info:

- when exporting an applet, you can now include a description in the
applet text. the format is a javadoc comment, where the first line
should contain /** and the final line */ so the following would work:
/**
* You can't rock Processing like I can rock Processing.
*/
and that text would automatically be embedded in the exported html
page. like a javadoc comment, the text can (and should) be any valid
html since it's just gonna get embedded right in the page.

Ahh wonderful, thanks for the quick response. I've successfully outputed this page automatically based on the code and lib/applet.html

I originally looked on this page in the reference:
http://processing.org/reference/environment/index.html#Exporting
Reference > Environment > Exporting

Perhaps this is a place to put that information?

i've trying to figure out the best place to doc this. i can make an additional comment reference, but people won't find it there either. i'll put it in the environment reference as a note regarding exporting, but people won't find it there either. i have a plan to have all the distribution examples use this commenting syntax.
