Audio and video aliases
This allow you to use audio or video files more than once in a database text, e.g. in
the translation of the text in a different language. Clicking Audio or Video alias
produces the list of all the files already used. Choose the one you need. The file is not
copied a second time but has two links in the database text.
Links to sound files produce a sound file symbol in the text. When you click this symbol
then the audio file will be replayed. WMV files are represented by the first frame of the
video.
3.15.5 Database text chess links
Just like a HTML page ChessBase database texts can have links to other texts,
pictures, videos, etc. In addition there are a number of chess specific links, such as
tournaments, games, keys, players, etc. When a game link is clicked the game is
loaded in a separate window for replay.
The links are to be found in the Links menu of the Database text window (you can also
right-click in the text editor and select Link). The chess specific links are all to be
found in the submenu ChessBase.
Edit Ga m e (Shift -Ct rl-G)
The game must be loaded in a board window. The link is to the game and the exact
position that is currently on the board. If the game is in the same database as the
text, then the text will merely contain a reference to it. Note that in this case you
cannot simply copy the text to another database. ChessBase will not be able to find
the quoted game in the new database and so it will not be loaded. If the game is in a
different database the ChessBase will copy the entire game (without commentary) into
the text. However, only the reference will be visible.
Edit Posit ion link (Shift -Ct rl-D)
Inserts a diagram, which you can define in the Enter position mask. If you have loaded
a game the position on the board will be automatically be inserted. You can select the
diagram size, coordinates and specify whether it should be a full diagram or just a
fragment, which you select from the Format dropdown menu. Mark the diagram and
press Ctrl-E if you want to center it.
Edit Cross t a ble (Shift -Ct rl-T )
Click a tournament in the tournament index (you can also click the first game of the
tournament in the games list). Switch to the database text and insert the Table link,
which will appear as the tournament name. When you click this link a cross-table of
the tournament is generated.
