Using an (:exec:) command

For OutWiker 1.9 and above ExternalTools adds the (:exec:) command for creation link or button for execute external applications from wiki page.

(:exec:) command allow to run single or many applications. Every application must writed on the separated lines.

If line begins with "#" this line will be ignored. "#" in begin of the line is sign of the comment.

The (:exec:) command has the following optional parameters:

  • format. If the parameter equals "button" command will create a button instead of a link.
  • title. The parameter sets the text for link or button.

Inside (:exec:) command may be macroses. The macroses will be replaced by appropriate paths:

  • . The macros will be replaced by full path to page text file (to __page.text file).
  • . The macros will be replaced by full path to HTML content file (to __content.html file).
  • . The macros will be replaced by full path to page folder.
  • . The macros will be replaced by full path to attach folder without slash on the end.
Examples

Creating a link for running application.exe:

(:exec:)application.exe(:execend:)

Same but creating a button

(:exec format=button:)
application.exe
(:execend:)

Create a link for running application.exe with parameters:

(:exec:)
application.exe param1 "c:\myfolder\path to file name"
(:execend:)

Run a lot of applications:

(:exec title="Run application_1, application_2 and application_3":)
application_1.exe
application_2.exe param_1 param_2
application_3.exe param_1 param_2
(:execend:)

Open attached file with application.exe:

(:exec:)
application.exe Attach:my_file.txt
(:execend:)

Execute application.exe from attachments folder:

(:exec:)
%attach%/application.exe %attach%/my_file.txt
(:execend:)

or
