old stuff wrote: I'm starting a project to document all the TI-83+ rom calls to .xml format. Any help would be appreciated. If you wish to help, please post the rom call here in this format:
Group: ;(so I know where to put it)
<item highlight="Function Name" colour="routine" name="Function Name" description="Description of What Function Does">
<input name="Registers: Register Inputs" />
<input name="flags: Flag Inputs" />
<input name="Other: Other Inputs" />
<output name="Registers: Register Outputs" />
<output name="Flags: Flag Outputs" />
<output name="Other: Other Outputs" />
<output name="Registers Destroyed: Registers destroyed by calling this function " />
</item>
All the xml stuff is so I can just easily copy it over. Please get your info from "TI-83 Plus System Routines".
Edit:
below is where all the finished rom calls will be posted.

Isn't WikiTI already having that?
Or 83psysroutine.pdf?

I'm trying to document Rom Calls in an XML format so that I can quickly access them by pressing 'F1' while using LateNite.
Oops... that might take a long time.
Instead, what I'm trying to do now is finding a format that can be easily converted from a .txt file (I've got all the text from 83psysroutine.pdf) to fit into the right format for LateNite.
The format above I guess doesn't work, so what I want now is a format (if you know how to write help files for LateNite) that can make it easy to read and includes all (or almost all) of the info that is present for each rom call in 83psysroutine.pdf

Here's the first part. I can't seem to figure out why it screws up when you click on 'see also: ...', though. It displays some weird text instead of what it should be. If some one can help me fix this, that would be great. Also please check for errors, as I did write a program to create this file, so there must be more errors (besides bad formating). Another thing is that I need a better way to organize the groups (instead of having all the functions grouped into ~18 different groups).
So, without further delay...
Tada! |

I'm not a fan of the structure. In fact, I think it downright sucks. For one thing, I don't see why you would have one tag for input descriptions but two for outputs. And then there's the putting of descriptive text in attributes (!).
I would do it something more along these lines:
Code:
<helpfile>
<title>TI-83+ Display ROM Calls</title>
<group>
<title>Display Function</title>
<routine>
<title>_Bit_VertSplit</title>
<highlight color="routine">_Bit_VertSplit</highlight>
<description>Tests if the TI-83 Plus is set to G-T (graph-table)
display mode.</description>
<input>
<entry>
<title>Registers</title>
<itemlist></itemlist>
</entry>
<entry>
<title>Flags</title>
<itemlist></itemlist>
</entry>
<entry>
<title>Other</title>
<itemlist></itemlist>
</entry>
</input>
<output>
<entry>
<title>Registers</title>
<itemlist></itemlist>
</entry>
<entry>
<title>Flags</title>
<itemlist>
<item>
<entity type="flag">Z</entity>
<description>= 0 if G-T mode is set.</description>
</item>
</itemlist>
</entry>
<entry>
<title>Registers Destroyed</title>
<itemlist></itemlist>
</entry>
<entry>
<title>RAM used</title>
<itemlist></itemlist>
</entry>
</output>
<note>
<para>Applications may want to reset the 83+ to full
screen mode if graphing functionality is used. In G-T mode the
screen is split vertically with 1/2 being the graph screen and
the other the table display.</para>
</note>
<example>
<programlisting>
bcall(_Bit_VertSplit); test for G-T mode
JR NZ,Screen_is_Split; jump if G-T mode
</programlisting>
</example>
</routine>
</group>
</helpfile>
(haha, except for me everyone in this thread has a similar avatar.)

Sigma's reply shares the same thoughts I had when I saw that code.
It's rather handy to have someone else raise the bar, so be thankful.

I'm no fan at all of this XML structure. In fact, each time something pops out in that format I tend to close it immediately. But if it looks good for him, then good, I'll let him have fun. I prefer the old Win.pdf/Wiki format. Also, maybe some notes or comments like in WikiTI (added to what the pdf includes). Also, there are some Undocumented ones documented, which could prove useful sometimes (ExecuteApps, DeleteApps, and other ones not related to Apps).
What's the problem with turbo-prop planes avatar? |

The structure needs to be so convoluted as that how Latenite expects to read them.
That said, I'm not sure why there are two elements for inputs/outputs... here's a snippet from the MirageOS one:
Code:
<item name="multhe" highlight="multhe" colour="routine" description="Multiplies h*e quickly.">
<input name="First operand" register="h" />
<input name="Second operand" register="e" />
<output name="Result (h*e)" register="hl" />
</item>
The new version of Latenite will take a rather different approach to all this, with a much-improved document browser. Syntax highlighting will be done via the assembler (and hence any labels declared in include files will be automatically highlighted) and looking up a symbol will end up looking up and pointing you at the correct page in the official PDF. |

Is there some way to fix this error:
Code:
;press PutC (or any other function) in the 'see also'
;display:
lnh_PutC (or other function)
If you go to the function, the data is right & displays correctly, but for some reason the 'see also' section is screwed up. Is this a bug with LateNite, or am I just doing something wrong?
BTW, here's some more documented calls. I also need a better way to organize the groups (so you don't have ~50 different display functions in the 'see also' section :sick: ). If anyone has suggestions, pls tell me.
