Added a SourceGen tutorial with lots of screen shots. Uses "responsive web design" so it works well on mobile devices. This version is using jQuery load() calls to pull in pieces, but that causes a lot of blink when loading because the loads are asynchronous and may not complete until after the initial page render has finished. Tutorial prev/next links not yet working.

<p>There's some string and numeric data down at the bottom of the file. The
|
|
final string appears to be multiple strings stuck together. (You may need
|
|
to increase the width of the Operand column to see the whole thing.) Notice
|
|
that the opcode for the very last line is '+', which means the operand
|
|
is a continuation of the previous line. Long data items can span multiple
|
|
lines, split every 64 characters (including delimiters), but they are
|
|
still single items: selecting any part selects the whole.</p>

You'll notice that this dialog is much different from the one you got when editing
|
|
the operand of an instruction. At the top it will say "<samp>65 bytes
|
|
selected</samp>". You can format this as a single 65-byte string, as 65 individual
|
|
items, or various things in between. For now, select <samp>Single bytes</samp>,
|
|
and then on the right, select <samp>ASCII (low or high) character</samp>.
|
|
Click <samp>OK</samp>.</p>

<p>Select address $203D on its own, then Actions > Edit Label. Set the

the bottom and shift-click address $2070. Select
|
|
<samp>Actions > Edit Operand</samp>.
|
|
At the top it should now say, "<samp>65 bytes selected in 2 groups</samp>".
|
|
There are two groups because the presence of a label split the data into
|
|
two separate regions. From the <samp>Character encoding</samp> pop-up down
|
|
in the "String" section, make sure <samp>Low or High ASCII</samp> encoding
|
|
is selected, then select the <samp>Mixed character and non-character</samp>

string type and click <samp>OK</samp>.</p>

<p>We now have two <code>.STR</code> lines, one for <samp>"string zero "</samp>,

|
|
This is okay,
|
|
but it's not really what we want. The code at $200B appears to be loading
|
|
a 16-bit address from data at $2025, so we want to use that if we can.</p>
|
|
<p>Select <samp>Edit > Undo</samp> three times. You should be back to the
|

state where there's a single <code>.STR</code> line at the bottom of

the file, split across two lines with a '+'.</p>

<p>Select the line at $2026. This is currently formatted as a string,

instead. There's an easy way to do that: use

<samp>Actions > Toggle Single-Byte Format</samp>

<p>Double-click the operand column on line $2025 ("$30") to open

the top line in the dialog should now say, "<samp>10 bytes selected</samp>".

Because 10 is a multiple of two, the 16-bit formats are enabled. It's not a multiple
|
|
of 3 or 4, so the 24-bit and 32-bit options are not enabled. Click the
|

<samp>16-bit words, little-endian</samp> radio button, then over to the right,

click the <samp>Address</samp> radio button. Click <samp>OK</samp>.</p>

<p>We just told SourceGen that those 10 bytes are actually five 16-bit numeric
|
|
references. SourceGen determined that the addresses are contained in the
|
|
file, and generated labels for each of them. Labels only work if they're
|
|
on their own line, so the long string was automatically split into five
|
|
separate <code>.STR</code> statements.</p>

<p>Note we didn't explicitly format the string data. We formatted
|
|
the addresses at $2025, which placed labels at the start of the strings,
|
|
but the strings themselves were automatically detected and formatted
|
|
by SourceGen. By default, SourceGen looks for ASCII strings, but this
|
|
can be changed in the project properties. You can even disable the
|
|
string auto-detection entirely if you want.</p>
