These  are  two  'style  templates'  made with JKFiles readmes in
mind,  to  be  used  with  the  plain  text  formatter   'GaTeX'.
 
The first one is a very plain layout that displays well enough in
the  worst  case,  which is to say variable-width font and trimed
spaces (sadly, that's exactly  how  filefront's  reviews  display
readmes).                                                        
 
The  other  one  provides  a  more  original layout with a decent
amount of eye-candy, which will look good as long as  spaces  are
not  trimed  and  a fixed-width font is used to display raw text.
 
Since both these styles define the same structural commands,  you
can  compile  the same readme using the two distinct layouts in a
matter of seconds: I suggest to ship the 'sophisticated'  version
with  the  mod, and the 'plain' version with the submission mail.
Then the reviewer can paste the plain version on filefront, which
won't look 'broken' there, while your users will still  have  the
better-looking one :-)                                           
 
 
+ HOW DO I USE THAT THING ?

 Installation: Three steps                                       
+------------------------------ -
 
First, you need to have a working GaTeX system: just download the
latest  version  using  the  link  provided  in the 'About GaTeX'
section (or the internet shortcut file). Then extract the archive
anywhere convenient.                                             
 
Second, you need to install the two styles: just replace  GaTeX's
'format.ini' file by the 'format.ini' provided.                  
 
The  third  step  is...  to learn to use the thing effectively...
 
 
 How do I get it to work?                                        
+------------------------------ -
 
Now would be the time to take a quick look at the 'What is GaTeX'
section before reading any further. Done?  Good.  Look  into  the
'DEMOS'  folder:  There  are  four  files  there. Two of them are
'.gat' source file. Open them with Wordpad, Notepad  or  anything
else that opens plain text. Now compare with the other two, which
are the corresponding 'compiled' files.                          
 
You  will  quickly  understand  that  words begining with '\' are
commands, and that the text to be  formatted  is  always  between
\some_structural_command  and  \end.  Well, that's really all you
need to  understand  to  actually  use  GaTeX  with  the  JKFiles
templates...                                                     
 
Now,  all you have to do is to replace the text in the example by
your own, then compile. To do that, just drag and drop the source
file  onto  GaTeX.exe's  icon.  The  formatted   file   will   be
automatically   created   and  displayed  (with  GaTeX's  default
settings). The name of the generated file is given in \output, at
the begining of the source file.                                 
 
One last, important thing: To select the style you want  to  use,
just  put  either  FILEFRONT  or FILEFRONT_FLAT in \style, at the
very beginning of the source file.

In as few words as possible, GaTeX is  a  plain  text  formatter,
which  handles content and layout independantly from one another.
It uses its own syntax to describe the 'styles'  or  'templates',
which   are   layout  specifications,  all  stored  in  the  file
'format.ini'. The syles are a set of 'structural commands'  which
can  then  be  used  as  a  kind  of  markup language to describe
content.  The  content  files  are  then  'compiled'  to   create
formatted files.
