!section Introduction {
Bind is software to create __html books__; that is, a series of
webpages each constituting a chapter. Navigation-links between the pages
and a contents-page are produced automatically. The appearance
of the pages is governed by a __theme__. Two themes are provided,
as examples for those brave enough to try producing their own.
<p>
The purpose of Bind is to provide a rudimentary system,
that avoids the tedious detail of hand-coding html.
No knowledge of html or css is required for creating html books
with Bind. On the other hand, Bind can easily be extended to provide
further features.}

!section Using Bind {
Double-click on !bind. A window will open showing the themes
available. <p>
!img themes/png
<p>
Double-clicking a theme will open a dialog box
containing two slots and a greyed-out icon. <p>
!img screen1/gif
<p>
Into the top slot (Target) drag the directory in which the html book is
to be created. <p>
!img screen2/gif
<p>
Into the bottom slot (Source) drag the source directory. <p>
!img screen3/gif
<p>
The name of this directory will be taken as the title of the book,
and it should contain text files, one for each chapter. <p>
!img screen4/gif
<p>
The syntax for chapter-descriptions
will be the topic of the next page. When both slots are filled
the icon of the chosen theme will appear. Click it to create the book.
