A manual page allows documentation in a ecf script to be viewable in ecflow_ui.

The manual page is the concatenation of all the text within the %manual and %end directives.

Modify $HOME/course/test/f1/t2.ecf  to have the following:

%manual
   Manual for task t2
   Operations: if this task fails, set it to complete and report next working day
   Analyst:    Check something ?
%end

%include "../head.h"
echo "I am part of a suite that lives in %ECF_HOME%"
%include "../tail.h"

%manual
   There can be multiple manual pages in the same file.
   When viewed they are simply concatenated.
%end

A manual page can also be added to a family and suite node.

Create a file called f1.man in $HOME/course/test

This manual is for family %FAMILY%
It can have any text and will also have variable substitution

Now create the file test.man in  $HOME/course

This is manual page for the test suite.
It lives in %ECF_HOME%

What to do

1. Modify $HOME/course/test/f1/t2.ecf script

3. View the manual page for task test/f1/t2  in ecflow_ui
