Editing Help:PDA Guide (section)

==== Editing ====

Editing is the bread and butter of creating documents on your PDA. Documents are inherently multimedia capable. Following is a list of media types along with the data they take.

; text : <message content>
; Voice : <message content>
; Photo : <'''LOOK'''able target>
; Sketch : <drawing content>

To edit a document, it must be open, and it must be owned by you. When you create a new document, it is opened automatically, so you can get straight to work.

To add a new line to the document, use the, "append" command:

* datapad <device> <append> <type> [data]

The data, in this case, referring to the type of content that the given type takes, as shown above. For instance, text simply takes the text to be added, voice takes the message you'd like to send, photo requires something you can target in game, and sketches take the content of the depiction you'd like to add. A note on photos: You can use the word, "here", to snap a picture of the entire room rather than limiting it to a character or object.

to insert a line or type of media after another line, use the following syntax:

* datapad <device> insert <line> <type> [data]

Note that the only difference between inserting and appending is that with insert, you are providing a line number after which the new media will appear. It's otherwise the same process as appending a line.

If you want to remove a line, you can do:

* datapad <device> erase <line>

Swapping lines is also possible with:

* datapad <device> swap <line 1> <line 2>

Replacing the contents of a line without deleting it first can also be done like this:

* datapad <device> replace <line> <type> [data]

note that this is nearly identical to the insert command, and the line given is the line that will be replaced with the new content.
