Foils to illustrate wwwfoil used in wwwfoilhelp

Given by Geoffrey C. Fox at June 1 Release of wwwfoil on June 1,1995. Foils prepared June 8,1995

Note wwwfoil defaults to second foil being abstract but this default can be overridden if specify file containing abstract.
wwwfoil has two major capabilities
  • Conversion of Persuasion Foils to HTML
  • Linkage of Multiple Foilsets with a script so that one can prepare particular presentations using as a basis foils taken from existing modules
The third foil illustrates that one can add "fake" foils which essentially reference online material -- here a world wide web URL and GIF Image
  • Here URL is given in an htmlline: and Image position given in getgiffrom:
The fourth foil illustrates another way of referencing GIFs where image is present in all versions of foil. (Use htmlline: to specify reference and nogifversion: to indicate no extra GIF information)
