This section is allows you to control how Decoding of HTML is performed by Webster. The default colours used for links and wether to fetch and decode any images that are part of the page.
<P>The windows looks like this...
<center>
<img src="images/decoding.gif">
</center>
<br clear=all>
The options are as follows.
<dl>
<DT><a name="multitasking">Multitask While Loading</a>
<DD>If selected then you can do other things while Webster decodes the page. You can also view the page as it is decoded, allowing you to read the text and even follow a link before the pages has been completly shown.
<dl>
<dt>Interval
<dd>When Multitasking is allowed this value controls how often Webster allows other applications to work. A value of 1 means as much as possible. Higher values mean documents decode faster, but everything else on the DeskTop runs very slowly.
</dl>
<DT>Show Inline Images
<DD>When selected all images on a page are <a href="../fetchers.html">fetched</a> and <a href="inline.html">Decoded</a> as the page is decoded. Of course it takes time to fetch images and more time to translate them into displayable format. If your link to the machine you are displaying pages from is slow or you know the page has large images, Un-selecting this option will mean the images are not fetched but a substitute image is used instead (So showing you the whole page much more quickly).
<DT>Underline Links
<DD>When Selected all Hypertext links to other pages are underlined as well as being displayed in your chosen colour.
<DT>Hyperlink Colour
<DD>This is the colour that Hypertext links to other pages are shown in (It is also used as the border colour round images that are part of hypertext links) This makes them visible in the text without you having to move the mouse all round the screen.
<DT>Visited Link Colour
<DD>This is the colour that Hypertext links to pages you have recently seen are shown in (It is also used as the border colour round images that are part of hypertext links that you have recently seen)
<DD>By default this is the same as the <quote>Hyperlink Colour</quote>. This makes Decoding faster (These is no need to check if you have recently been to the destination of the link), but makes seeing where you have been difficult.
<DT>Decode HTML Extensions.
<DD>If selected certain HTML extensions are also decoded. Most of these are not decoded by most other Web Browsers (They are extensions implemented in <A href="http://home.netscape.com/">Netscape</a>). This option is only really of use if you are using Webster to view pages that you are creating and want to know what they will look like in most other browsers.
<DT>Solid Horizontal Rules
<DD>If selected all Horizontal rules (There is one just before my name at the end of this page) will be solid back lines and will not get any deeper than a simple line (Normaly this size can be changed using a an attribute to the <HR> tag). This is useful if you <em>Hate</em> 3D.
