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).

{{DISPLAYTITLE:_ASSERT}}
The [[_ASSERT]] statement can be used to perform tests in code that's in development, for debugging purposes.
{{PageSyntax}}
:[[_ASSERT]] {{Parameter|condition}}[, {{Parameter|errorMessage$}}]
{{PageDescription}}
* {{Parameter|condition}} is the condition that must be met in order to consider the _ASSERT valid.
* Optional {{Parameter|errorMessage$}} is the message to be displayed in the console window if [[$ASSERTS|$ASSERTS:CONSOLE]] is used.
* If the condition is not met (that is, if it evaluates to 0), an error occurs ("_ASSERT failed on line #") and program execution stops.
==Availability==
* '''Version 1.4 and up'''.
{{PageExamples}}
''Example:'' Adding test checks for parameter inputs in a function.
