Creating your first Web Page

In Web Styler, there are several ways to create your first World Wide Web document. As a text-based HTML editor, it offers two different possibilities: Creating only the basic HTML code, which is neccesary for a World Wide Web browser to open the document properly, or creating the whole Home page with help of The Home Page Composer, available from Web Styler’s Tools menu.

The basic HTML code can be created very easily using the toolbar or menu command. To insert Basic HTML code from Web Styler’s toolbar, use the button on the Extended Toolbar. The button loks like this: .

To insert the Basic HTML Code using the menus, select the command Basic HTML Code from the Insert menu.

After completing the operation, you should see HTML code in your document, similar with this one:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2//EN">

<HTML>

<HEAD>

  <TITLE>Here goes the page title</TITLE>

  <META NAME="GENERATOR" CONTENT="Web Styler 1.0">

</HEAD>

<BODY>

<H1>Here goes the first heading</H1>

Here goes page text.

<HR>

</BODY>

</HTML>

That is the basic HTML code, neccesary for every HTML document. You can always use it for a quick start.

If you are a begginer, it is recomanded to use Web Styler’s Home Page Compser. You can run it by clicking the command Home Page Composer from the Tools menu. You will se a new window. Follow the instructions on the screen, and in a less than a minute you will have a very good Home Page ready for World Wide Web and Internet.


Learning HTML

Web Styler is, as you already know, text-based HTML editor, not WYSIWYG editor. That, of course means that you see the HTML code while you are creating your Web page. On the other side, WYSIWYG HTML editors, like Microsoft FrontPage® and Netscape Navogator Gold®, don’t show the HTML code, just the previewed page. Therefore, if you decided to use Web Styler (which is a good choice, trust us), you should, learn Hyper Text Markup Language syntax, specifications,  tags and standards.

Here, in Web Styler help, you can find some good HTML related World Wide Web sites. Visit them, and they will provide with lots of information on HTML, and learn you how to create good World Wide Web pages. When you learn HTML, in combination with Web Styler, you will make the best HTML duo!

System Requirements

Before you install and run Web Styler, you should check minimal system requirements needed to use Web Styler properly. If your system configuration doesn’t satisfly the requirements, you should check by your hardware reseller to buy new components.

The minimal hardware configuration for using Web Styler on Windows 95® operating system is:

•	IBM PS/2 or compatibile machine with Intel® 80486DX or higher processor

•	8 Mb of RAM Memory

•	Hard Disk Drive with at least 6 Mb of free space

•	VGA or compatibile graphical display

•	Mouse or another equivalent pointing device

Spell Checker

Web Styler incudes, what we think, the most powerful built-in spell checknig component of all HTML editors, which will help you to correct your spelling mistakes. The component supports more than 110,000 words. A very useful feature is skipping HTML tags - if you have ever spelled a HTML document with a normal spell checker, you will see what a relief is to have the one that skips tags. More useful features: when spell checking, you can get help any time using context sensitive help butoon on the spell checker main window and you can change spell checking options in the middle of the action. Made a mistake in spelling? No problem, the components supports unlimited Undo action. If you ever used spell checkers, like the one in Microsoft Word®, you won’t have any problems with adjutsing - the user interface is the same! You can also use Microsoft Word® user dictionaries to check for mistakes, just set them up in spell checking options. Great, isn’t it?
