<Replace Sequence>

You can use the <Replace Sequence> command to specify a sequence in a main guide file that is to be replaced by a new sequence in a Mixin guide file.

<Replace Sequence> oldSequenceName, newSequenceName

oldSequenceName

A text string specifying the name of the sequence in the main guide file.

newSequenceName

A text string specifying the name of the sequence in the Mixin guide file.

DESCRIPTION

When Guide Maker compiles a source file for a Mixin guide file and encounters a <Replace Sequence> command, it looks for a sequence specified by the oldSequenceName parameter in the main guide file. If it finds the sequence, it replaces it with the sequence specified by the newSequenceName parameter.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS

The <Replace Sequence> command can be used only in the source file for a Mixin guide file that also includes the <Mixin> command. To use the <Replace Sequence> command, you must specify a SYM file in the symName parameter of the <Mixin> command.

EXAMPLES

<Replace Sequence> "creating index markers", \xAC
                  "New creating index markers"

SEE ALSO

For information on the <Mixin> command, see page 10-19. To modify or add new topic areas, topics, or index entries to an existing guide file, you can use the commands <Insert Topic Area Header>, <Insert Topic Area Topic>, <Insert Index Header>, and <Insert Index Topic>, as described on page 10-192, page 10-193, page 10-195, and page 10-196, respectively.
