Examine/edit a manual card
The Card Viewer allows you to read the textual contents of a
card. It is normally started by double-clicking on a card in one of the
summary lists (for example from the ClassBrowser).
Notation. The card editor may display multiple cards simultaneously
Each card is started using by a bold-printed header-line. If multiple
cards with the same description are displayed by the card viewer this
tool will put a header for each displayed card above the actual
description. The type-indicator of the header of the card the
description originates from is underlined.
User interface:
Jumping around:
- double-clicking on a bold-printed

cards is achieved using the
history entry of the manual's menu bar.
