Beginner's guide to Yann Perrin's E.A.S.E utilities

[Jel]

As a relative tyro here (for all that I go back to the ark in computer
terms), I was wrestling to understand what Yann means when it comes to
installing his tools, because the use of the term Command is
relatively ambigous - and rare. However, by dint of burning
braincells, I eventually discovered how it's done, and felt that it's
worth adding a note here to help others along behind me, particularly
those who aren't programmers, as Yann doesn't appear to have provided
the necessary on his site.
At a superficial level, what you have to do is add "format", ''slicer"
or "tongue" (in exact lower case) to the end of the EditTemplate row
in the ToolbarCommands shadow tiddler. Be careful not to delete the |
at the end, or you'll wipe out the edit menu irrecoverably. You also
have to download the easyFormat, easySlicer, and easyTongue tiddlers,
together with their parent class in the E.A.S.E tiddler, from his
website. Close any open tiddlers, save the TW off and refresh it:
you'll then see the relevant additions to the command menu just above
the tiddler when you're editing it. The Slicer uses a rather nifty 8<
scissors smiley...
Anyone who can tell me how to invoke those elsewhere, please guide my
hand and complete the job here.

Many thanks, I'll have a play once I've resolved a conflict between
FET and the TiddlySpot uploader. The other package I'll be examining
is the Navigation one...
