-\item[Helpview]
+\item[{\bf Helpview}]
Helpview is a program for displaying wxWindows HTML
Help files. In many cases, you may wish to use the wxWindows HTML
Help classes from within your application, but this provides a
handy stand-alone viewer. See \helpref{wxHTML Notes}{wxhtml} for more details.
-You can find it in \verb$samples/html/helpview$.
+You can find it in {\tt samples/html/helpview}.
-\item[Tex2RTF]
+\item[{\bf Tex2RTF}]
Supplied with wxWindows is a utility called Tex2RTF for converting\rtfsp
\LaTeX\ manuals HTML, MS HTML Help, wxHTML Help, RTF, and Windows
Help RTF formats. Tex2RTF is used for the wxWindows manuals and can be used independently
by authors wishing to create on-line and printed manuals from the same\rtfsp
\LaTeX\ source. Please see the separate documentation for Tex2RTF.
-You can find it under \verb$utils/tex2rtf$.
+You can find it under {\tt utils/tex2rtf}.
-\item[Helpgen]
+\item[{\bf Helpgen}]
Helpgen takes C++ header files and generates a Tex2RTF-compatible
documentation file for each class it finds, using comments as appropriate.
This is a good way to start a reference for a set of classes.
-\item[Dialog Editor]
+\item[{\bf Dialog Editor}]
Dialog Editor allows interactive construction of dialogs using
absolute positioning, producing WXR output files. This tool is generally deprecated
in favour of sizer-based tools. You can find Dialog Editor
-in \verb$utils/dialoged$.
+in {\tt utils/dialoged}.
-\item[XRC resource system]
+\item[{\bf XRC resource system}]
This is the sizer-aware replacement for the WXR resource system, and uses
XML-based resource specifications that can be generated by tools
such as \urlref{wxDesigner}{http://www.roebling.de} and XRC's own wxrcedit.
-You can find this in \verb$contrib/src/xrc$, \verb$contrib/include/wx/xrc$, \verb$contrib/samples/xrc$, and \verb$contrib/utils/wxrcedit$.
+You can find this in {\tt contrib/src/xrc}, {\tt contrib/include/wx/xrc}, {\tt contrib/samples/xrc}, and {\tt contrib/utils/wxrcedit}.
For more information, see the \helpref{XML-based resource system overview}{xrcoverview}.
-\item[Object Graphics Library]
+\item[{\bf Object Graphics Library}]
OGL defines an API for applications that need to display objects connected by lines.

+You can find this in {\tt contrib/src/ogl}, {\tt contrib/include/wx/ogl}, and {\tt contrib/samples/ogl}.
-\item[Frame Layout library]
+\item[{\bf Frame Layout library}]
FL provides sophisticated pane dragging and docking facilities.

-\item[Gizmos library]
+\item[{\bf Gizmos library}]
Gizmos is a collection of useful widgets and other classes. Classes include wxLEDNumberCtrl,
wxEditableListBox, wxMultiCellCanvas.
-You can find this in \verb$contrib/src/fl$, \verb$contrib/include/wx/fl$, and \verb$contrib/samples/fl$.
+You can find this in {\tt contrib/src/fl}, {\tt contrib/include/wx/fl}, and {\tt contrib/samples/fl}.
-\item[Net library]
+\item[{\bf Net library}]
Net is a collection of very simple mail and web related classes. Currently
there is only wxEmail, which makes it easy to send email messages via MAPI on Windows or sendmail on Unix.
-You can find this in \verb$contrib/src/net$ and \verb$contrib/include/wx/net$.
+You can find this in {\tt contrib/src/net} and {\tt contrib/include/wx/net}.
-\item[Animate library]
+\item[{\bf Animate library}]
Animate allows you to load animated GIFs and play them on a window. The library can be extended
to use other animation formats.
-You can find this in \verb$contrib/src/animate$, \verb$contrib/include/wx/animate$, and \verb$contrib/samples/animate$.
+You can find this in {\tt contrib/src/animate}, {\tt contrib/include/wx/animate}, and {\tt contrib/samples/animate}.
-\item[Canvas library]
+\item[{\bf Canvas library}]
Canvas supports high-level, double-buffered drawing operations with transformations.
-You can find this in \verb$contrib/src/canvas$, \verb$contrib/include/wx/canvas$, and \verb$contrib/samples/canvas$.
+You can find this in {\tt contrib/src/canvas}, {\tt contrib/include/wx/canvas}, and {\tt contrib/samples/canvas}.
-\item[MMedia library]
+\item[{\bf MMedia library}]
Mmedia supports a variety of multimedia functionality. The status of this library is currently unclear.
-You can find this in \verb$contrib/src/mmedia$, \verb$contrib/include/wx/mmedia$, and \verb$contrib/samples/mmedia$.
+You can find this in {\tt contrib/src/mmedia}, {\tt contrib/include/wx/mmedia}, and {\tt contrib/samples/mmedia}.
-\item[Styled Text Control library]
+\item[{\bf Styled Text Control library}]
