<h1>JMRI Help</h1>
|
|
|
|
<p>This is the top-level Help page for JMRI.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The <a href="Acknowledgements.shtml">acknowledgements page</a> shows that a lot of people
|
|
have been able to contribute.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Using The JMRI Help System</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>If you're viewing this via the JMRI Help menu, the section to the left is a table of
|
|
contents. Clicking on an entry will load the help page in the right section.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>In JMRI, selecting <strong>Preferences ⇒ Help</strong> provides three options.</p>
|
|
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li><strong>Open help pages locally</strong>: The help pages will be loaded from your JMRI
|
|
install location, in a limited text format. The pages will be based on the installed JMRI
|
|
version. This is the default option.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
<strong>Open help pages online</strong>: The help page will be displayed by linking to
|
|
<a href="https://www.jmri.org">jmri.org</a>. The content on the JMRI website might be more
|
|
recent than the content in the local JMRI install location. The page will have the standard
|
|
navigation bar, sidebars and CSS formatting. This option requires that an internet
|
|
connection is available.
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li><strong>Open help pages using the web server in JMRI</strong>: The help pages will be
|
|
loaded from your JMRI install location, with full formatting, navigation bar and sidebars.
|
|
The pages will be based on the installed JMRI version. Requires that JMRI Web Server
|
|
is running.</li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Further information</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>The main JMRI web page, <a href="https://www.jmri.org">https://www.jmri.org</a>, is a good place to
|
|
start for information about current status, updates, etc.<br>
|
|
(Depending on your computer, you might have to copy that link to your web browser to be able to
|
|
see external sites properly).</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>We have a Groups.io discussion area, JMRI Users. This group is the place to discuss any
|
|
aspect of JMRI. If you have questions about how to do things, suggestions or even complaints,
|
|
post them there. You can subscribe, browse posts, etc. at <a href=
|
|
"https://groups.io/g/jmriusers">https://groups.io/g/jmriusers/</a>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Our <a href="https://www.jmri.org/help/en/html/doc/Technical/index.shtml">technical web
|
|
pages</a> are continually being updated. We're always short of documentation, so if you're
|
|
interested in working with the code or updating some Help files, we'd love to help you <a href=
|
|
"https://www.jmri.org/help/en/html/doc/Technical/getgitcode.shtml">get started</a>.</p>
