Adding HTML rules to Sessions

[alancon]

I understand about creating the HTML asset etc. but I'm just a little confused about adding the needed rule(s) to the commands in the session (via Session Edit).

Do I need both a "Display HTML Rules" and a "Set HTML Pages" rule for every time I want to display an HTML file in a single session (even if the HTML displays are sequentially arranged in the session)?

Post #4 onwards deals with the Display-HTML and Set-HTML-Pages rules.

In my sessions, I use the "Time Limited Display HTML" rule: the HTML is displayed for a set amount of time, then disappears with no need for player intervention. It is better suited for short instructions, but it is much simpler to set up than other HTML-related rules.

Its main drawback is the inability to see previous HTMLs, so it is not well suited for sessions where you have to look at a page multiple times (e.g. if one of the HTML pages contains the switch list, or the train timetable, or in a tutorial-type session)
