Roland Heyder aeb9c0668b Updates help files for use with new Wiki parser (2nd try)
Note: Many files were removed (not yet existing/empty pages). The parser will try to download them on demand and will auto-generate text for missing pages (eg. most _gl pages).

The [[MKD$]] function encodes a [[DOUBLE]] numerical value into an 8-byte [[ASCII]] [[STRING]] value.
{{PageSyntax}}
: {{Parameter|result$}} = [[MKD$]]({{Parameter|doublePrecisionVariableOrLiteral#}})
{{PageDescription}}
* {{Parameter|doublePrecisionVariableOrLiteral#}} is converted to eight ASCII characters. To see this in action, try {{InlineCode}}PRINT MKD$(12345678){{InlineCodeEnd}}.
* [[DOUBLE]] values can range up to 15 decimal point digits. Decimal point accuracy depends on whole value places taken.
* The string value can be converted back to a DOUBLE numerical value using [[CVD]].
* [[DOUBLE]] numerical variable values [[PUT]] into a [[BINARY]] file are automatically placed as an MKD$ [[ASCII]] string value.
