8. Masher Function
This function allows us to combine all exercises together and create a single unit. It creates so-called "Index" file that can run various exercises created in Hot Potatoes.
The first panel consists of different editing options. We can set our own design, buttons, which will be displayed on the home page, etc. A field where we can see the files that we have inserted is displayed below the first panel. These files can be added using the "Add files" button. We can add files that we have created using various Hot Potatoes functions. We can recognise these files by their endings - .jbc, .jcl, .jcw, .jmt, .jmx. The third step after adding all the files is to select a folder where we want to save the final files. After selecting all exercises and completing all edits we can press "Build unit" button. Then the program generates the ".htm" files which can be opened using a web browser.
