A simple Command example

This simple extension adds an item to the Commands menu and lets you convert selected text in
your document to either uppercase or lowercase. When you click the menu item, it activates a
three-button interface that lets you submit your choice.
You create this extension by performing the following steps:
Creating the user interface (UI)
1
Writing the JavaScript code
2
Placing the files in the Commands folder
3
This example creates two files in the Commands folder: Change Case.html, which contains the
UI, and Change Case.js, which contains the JavaScript code. If you prefer, you can create only the
Change Case.html file and put both the JavaScript code and the UI in it.
