+As discussed in /modules/markout/lib/markout.js, our Node web server recognizes the following machine properties
+in the Front Matter of our Markdown documents, for compatibility with the Jekyll web server:
'id' (eg, "ibm5150")
'name' (eg, "IBM PC (Model 5150) with Monochrome Display")
- 'type' (eg, "pc" or "c1p")
- 'debugger' (eg, true)
- 'config' (eg, "machine.xml")
- 'template' (eg, "machine.xsl")
- 'debug' (eg, true)
- 'uncompiled' (eg, true)
- 'parms'
+ 'type' ("pc" or "c1p")
+ 'debugger' (default is false)
+ 'config' (default is "machine.xml")
+ 'template' (default is "machine.xsl")
+ 'debug' (default is false; true enables asserts and is very slow)
+ 'uncompiled' (default is false; true is useful for debugging but slow)
+ 'parms' (stringified object that collects additional machine properties listed below)
-And the following properties (along with any property not listed above) will be added to the 'parms' property:
+Note that if you want BACKTRACK support enabled in a machine, both 'debugger' and 'uncompiled' must be true.
+Also note that while multiple machines ARE supported on a single page, there are some limitations; for example,
+loading two or more machines of the same 'type' but with different 'debug', 'uncompiled', or 'debugger' settings
+may not work as desired.
+
+The following optional machine properties will be added to the 'parms' property:
'autoMount' (eg, {"A":{"name":"OS/2 FOOTBALL (v7.68.17)","path":"/disks/pc/os2/misc/football/FOOTBALL-76817.json"}})
'autoPower' (eg, true)
'autoStart' (eg, true)
'drives' (eg, '[{name:"68Mb Hard Disk",type:4,path:"http://archive.pcjs.org/disks/pc/fixed/68mb/win95.json"}]')
'state' (eg, "state.json")
- 'messages' (eg, "disk")
+ 'messages' (eg, "fault")
-And all our JavaScript components expect multi-word property names to use camelCase, so that conversion happens both
-here and in markout.js. Examples include 'autopower' ('autoPower') and 'automount' ('autoMount').
+Finally, all our JavaScript components expect multi-word property names to use camelCase, so we automatically convert
+any lower-case forms to camelCase, both here and in markout.js and components.xsl, in case we've gotten sloppy in any
+of our Markdown or XML documents. Examples: 'automount' becomes 'autoMount', 'autopower' becomes 'autoPower', etc.
