Glossary

HTML: HyperText Markup Language. This is the language used to specify the links and formatting we support. For a description on how you should use HTML see the Style Guide for Online Hypertext.
URL: Uniform Resource Locator. An URL in the networking world corresponds to a file name in the local world, it allows you to specify a file anywhere in the world. An URL contains (in general) three parts: http://www.ncsa.uiuc.edu/demoweb/url-primer.html an access method (in this case http), a machine name (in this case www.ncsa.uiuc.edu) and a filename (/demoweb/url-primer.html).
MiniWeb: This is NaviSoft's concept for how to keep a collection of pages together. GNNpress provides you with a graphical view of the collection (a miniweb) showing all the pages and any other files (such as images, sounds, etc) and the connections between them.
Style Mappings: This is NaviSoft's way of getting around some of the limitations of HTML, a style mapping allows you to specify what formatting effect each HTML element should have. So you could have a style mapping where the <STRONG> emphasis tag was displayed in cyan and italic, while the <H1> tag was right justified 36 point text. All text within <STRONG></STRONG> pairs in any page with that mapping attached would be cyan, and all text within <H1></H1> pairs would be right justified.
