Tim Edwards a816da60f9 Updated the HTML command reference files to refer to magic version 8.3,
since all of the title images still had 8.2, and the title text still
said 7.3 or 7.4, having not been updated for a long time.

<H3>Summary:</H3>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
The <B>measure</B> command is a script that creates a ruler
to measure the distance between two points on a layout. The
ruler is positioned within the bounds of the cursor box. The
option <I>orient</I> may be "<B>horizontal</B>", "<B>vertical</B>",
or "<B>auto</B>", and determines whether the ruler measures
a width or a height. Without any option, orientation <B>auto</B>
is assumed. Automatic orientation chooses the longer dimension
of the cursor box as the dimension to measure. Dimensions are
printed in microns.
</BLOCKQUOTE>
<H3>Implementation Notes:</H3>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<B>measure</B> is implemented as a Tcl procedure in the "tools"
script. The ruler itself is implemented as elements (see the
<B>element</B> command), including line elements for the ruler
and a text element for the printed dimension.
