Subject: [Newbies] easy peasy recursion on a CustomHelpTopic
Message-ID: <17ba2c80c46.da592afe10246.8282186504832092203@zoho.com>

Hi Folks,



|recurse|

Transcript clear.

recurse := [:help |



help pages do:[:each | | v |

each asString first isUppercase

ifTrue:[recurse value: (Smalltalk at: each)]

ifFalse:[

v := help perform: each.

Transcript show: each; cr.

Transcript show: v title ; cr.

Transcript show: v contents; cr]]].



recurse	 value:PostgresV3Help





straight out of the Terse Guide Factorial.







What this means, is that I can now get the existing CustomHelp content up into other formats using XTreams parsing and then from those other formats back to CustomHelp.



heck,,with a little bit of modification, I can have that thing output to Org mode for emacs easy peasy.



I will work on that tomorrow or this weekend.





Then, I have to do the reverse and create CustomHelp from various markups 





cheers,
