VoodooPad FAQ

Q. How do I stop words from linking on just one page?
A. Click on the info toolbar button of the page you want links to go away on, and then uncheck the button "Highlight linked words"

Q. What's the difference between a page and a pad? What is considered a "document"?
A. A page is a single entry- a single window that you can type in. Multiple pages go in a pad, like a notebook. A pad and a document are the same thing- a collection of pages. A pad can also contain file links that you dropped in from the Finder. The document is stored in a file like a world processing application would, and it usually ends with the extension .vdoc

Q. Do I have to mash words together to make a link?
A. No, you do not. You can link a single word, with or without capitalization just as easily as a mashed word, it just doesn't appear underlined before you make it a link. To make a new page with the word (or phrase), just select the text and choose "Make Link" from the Edit menu, or type Command-L.

Q. I found a bug- what should I do?
A. The best thing you can do is visit our online bug database ( http://www.flyingmeat.com/pyr/ ) and fill out a report. Feature requests are welcome (and encouraged!) as well. If for some reason this doesn't work for you, you may also send an email to support@flyingmeat.com.

Q. Are there going to be free upgrades?
A. Any 1.1.x releases are going to be free. Upgrades fees beyond the 1.1 series have not been decided on yet.

Q. How come the forward and back toolbar buttons are disabled?
A. Probably because the "Open entries in new windows" option is checked in the preferences. Uncheck this, and you will get a browser-like interface (also known as Single Window Mode).

Q. How do I get a file that I dragged in to stop linking?
A. Press the "Info" toolbar button to bring up the pages inspectors, where you will see a list of all the pages and files you have linked in the document. Find the file that you want to get rid of, and press the "delete entry" button to remove it.

Q. How do I change the formatting of the date?
A.The date formatting options are in the prefrences window.
The text field takes a series of fomatting options, as given in the table below:

Specifier | Description
`%%` | A `'%'` character
`%a` | Abbreviated weekday name
`%A` | Full weekday name
`%b` | Abbreviated month name
`%B` | Full month name
`%c` | Shorthand for “`%X %x`", the locale format for date and time
`%d` | Day of the month as a decimal number (01-31)
`%e` | Same as `%d` but does not print the leading 0 for days 1 through 9 (unlike `strftime()`, does not print a leading space)
`%F` | Milliseconds as a decimal number (000-999)
`%H` | Hour based on a 24-hour clock as a decimal number (00-23)
`%I` | Hour based on a 12-hour clock as a decimal number (01-12)
`%j` | Day of the year as a decimal number (001-366)
`%m` | Month as a decimal number (01-12)
`%M` | Minute as a decimal number (00-59)
`%p` | AM/PM designation for the locale
`%S` | Second as a decimal number (00-59)
`%w` | Weekday as a decimal number (0-6), where Sunday is 0
`%x` | Date using the date representation for the locale, including the time zone (produces different results from `strftime()`)
`%X` | Time using the time representation for the locale (produces different results from `strftime()`)
`%y` | Year without century (00-99)
`%Y` | Year with century (such as 1990)
`%Z` | Time zone name (such as Pacific Daylight Time; produces different results from `strftime()`)
`%z` | Time zone offset in hours and minutes from GMT (HHMM)
