  • reintegrates 'help' into 'trunk'
    • tweak arb documentation:
      • automatically link
        • ticket references to arb bug tracker (only affects html version).
        • found URLs.
      • page titles
        • warn about long titles.
        • introduce SUBTITLEs (automatically triggered by multi-line titles in source files).
        • increase allowed length (limited by subwindow width).
      • cleanup header sections in all helpfiles.
      • fix and/or update several help files.
      • document syntax of help sources.
      • build issues:
        • when xml validation fails, next build no longer uses invalid xml ⇒ keeps failing.
        • remove output files on error (including files below ARBHOME/lib).
        • pipe output through logs to ensure proper wrapping in Entering/Leaving lines.
    • moves Tree admin + NDS menu entries to top of menu
  • adds: log:branches/help@18783:19531
  • Property svn:eol-style set to native
  • Property svn:keywords set to Author Date Id Revision

12TITLE           Determine data changes between databases
13
14OCCURRENCE      ARB_MERGE/Transfer Species/Source->Target/Compare a field of listed species...
15
16DESCRIPTION     Compares contents of a field (selected to compare) between same species in
17                both databases. Information about found differences will be stored in
18                the selected report field in both databases.
19
20                Only species listed in the left hitlist of the 'TRANSFER SPECIES' window
21                are examined.
22
23                If no differences are detected, the selected report field will be deleted
24                from the species.
25
26                Comparison can be customized by the following parameters:
27
28                 * tag/subfield
29
30                   If a tag is specified, only the content belonging to that tag will
31                   be considered for comparison (see LINK{tags.hlp} for information about tagging).
32
33                 * ignore characters
34
35                   When specified, the contents of the field are modified before comparison, i.e. the
36                   given characters are removed from the contents.
37                   Nevertheless, the position(s) written to the report field are independant of
38                   ignored characters, i.e. they are absolute (sequence) positions.
39
40                 * ignore case
41
42                   When checked case differences are ignored.
43
44                If 'Try to correct field in target DB' is checked, ARB will accept and correct
45                single(!) insertions, deletions and substitutions in the sequence data of the
46                target database.
47                A minimum amount of 10 matching bases is required between two distinct corrections,
48                otherwise the correction will be canceled (and diff-info will be written to report field).
49                Successful corrections are indicated by marking the affected species in the target database.
50
51NOTES           This function has been originally designed to
52                determine sequence changes between different databases or database versions.
53                Using it for other, non-sequence database fields works as well.
54
55EXAMPLES        None
56
57WARNINGS        Be careful: only select report fields, that don't contain any data.
58                Existing data will be overwritten w/o further confirmation.
59
60BUGS            No bugs known
