DMC   now   allows  Split-Screen  text
articles as well as normal text arts.

The  very first thing that you need to
type is #1<#1> @5as this will allow the code
to set it's default text reader to use
the new Split-Screen option.

If  you  want  a heading at the top of
the  page, you must type #1{ @5followed by
your  heading.     (This will be auto-
centred for you).

You  may  also like to add a title for
the name of the author (you) !!!    To
do  this  you simply type #1} @5before the
text.    (This will be auto-centred)

Now you need to type up all your text.


Please note that no more than #138 @5chars
should  be  typed per line !!!    That
does  not  include  the  colour codes,
which  we shall come to in a minute or
two.

The best thing to do is load this file
into  your  favourite  text editor and
have a look at it there.    You should
be  able  to follow the format as it's
pretty straight forward.

OK let's take a rundown of how you can
create  the coloured text for your own
articles.

15 colours can be used and these are:

@1White  @2Red  @3Yellow @4Green @5Cyan @6Blue @5and
of course @7Purple@5.  
@5There   is  also  another  8  colours
available which all #5flash@5!

#1White  #2Red  #3Yellow  #4Green  #5Cyan  #6Blue
#7Purple @5and colour 8 #8MultiCycle@5.

These could be mainly used to show up
some important text !

     #####    ######    #####
     ##  ##  ## ## ##  ##    
     ##  ##  ## ## ##  ##    
     #####   ##    ##   #####

To  add  any  of  the above colours to
your  text,  just  put the #1@ @5character
followed by a number from #11 @5to #17@5.

@1  eg. @1@@11 @1Would give White text.
      @1@@14 @4Would give Green text. @5
To add any of the above flashing cols
to   your   text,   just  put  the  #1# @5
character followed by a number from #11 @5
to #18@5.

@1  eg. #1##11 #1Would Give White Text
      #1##14 #4Would give Green Text
@5
As   mentioned  before,  only  type  a
maximum  of @338 @5chars per line.    Then
you  can  add in all your colour codes
later  (Only  up  to  @379 @5chars on each
line).
@1
eg.

THIS LINE HAS USED UP THE 38 CHARS !!!

@1THIS @2LINE @3HAS @4USED @5UP @6THE @138 @2CHARS @3!@4!@5!

(Even  although the above line is only
38 chars long, it has used up 61 chars
due to the colour codes being added !)

That  should  be easy enough to follow
when this file is viewed via your text
editor.

Up to @324 @5lines of text can be shown on
each screen.

Use  the new @1DMC ARTICLE TESTER @5to see
how  your articles look before you use
them in your final production.
