The HTML Reference Library v1.0f
--------------------------------
Welcome to the HTML Reference Library, your one-stop, on-line guide
to HTML mark-up elements, their uses, meaning and syntax.
While this document is, at the time of release, up-to-date with all
HTML elements that are currently supported, I make no promises that it
will remain current in say, 6 months. All I can say is that as new
elements are supported, or when the official HTML level 3.0 spec. is
released, it will be included in the reference.
I ask nothing more than a quick e-mail to tell me what you think of
the reference. Was it worthwhile? Is it useful? Call it e-mailware,
or responseware.
While there is no new information in this release of the reference,
there are a few aesthetic changes (see below). I decided to release it
as I'm switching over to the joys of Windows '95 soon and so wanted to
get some outstanding projects cleared up before such a major change.
Many thanks to all the people who have commented on the reference.
It is only with such comments that I know what to try and add for future
versions.
Special thanks are due to:
Doug Jacobson - Allowing me to use his RGB colour chart.
Tom Henry - SimTel uploading.
Terry Knab - providing the ftp.interstate.net distribution site.
Zot - providing the ftp.crl.com distribution site.
Don Lebow - providing the www.maui.net Web site
Where/How to get updates
------------------------
ftp.swan.ac.uk/pub/in.coming/htmlib/htmlibXX.zip, where XX is the version no.,
currently 1.0f (1f)
ftp.interstate.net/users/knab/htmlibXX.zip
ftp.crl.com/users/zo/zot/htmlibXX.zip
http://www.maui.net/~dml/htmlhlp.html
The first site is the primary distribuition site. Files kept there are updated by
me personally. The other sites are 'mirror' sites, and may lag a few days in
holding the actual file after release notes have been issued.
Release notes are posted to everybody on the mailing list (to subscribe, mail me
cmlehunt@swan.ac.uk and let me know - this is NOT an autoreplier) and will be
posted to comp.infosystems.www.users/misc/authoring.html and possibly others.
To install :
------------
1) Unzip the archive into any directory you want.
2) The HLP file can be run by double-clicking it in the File Manager,
or an icon can be set up in a group. If you don't know how to do
this then I suggest reading your Micorosoft Windows manual.
Known Installation problems
---------------------------
For the HLP file to work, WINHELP.EXE must be installed. If you can access Help
on any other Windows applications it is already installed. If not, please refer to
your Windows documentation on installing Windows components.
If double clicking on the icon produces a message saying 'There is no application
associated with this file', the association needs to be set. Highlight HTML.HLP
in the File Manager, then choose Associate from the File Menu. If 'Windows Help
WINHELP.EXE' is not there, simply type WINHELP.EXE in the appropriate box. Click
on OK, then double clicking the icon should work.
Version History:
----------------
1.0f Released 8/7/95
Added mid-topic jumping from Attributes pop-up and index keys to the
Quick Reference section.
RGB triplet chart added to show possibilities for BGCOLOR attribute when
using Netscape. (Many thanks to Doug Jacobson - e-mail him if you use
the colour chart)
1.0e Released 8/5/95
Added description of Netscape's <EMBED> element for Object embedding.
Browse sequences added.
Added more functionality to non-scrolling region.
Nearly all pages have a direct link to the Quick Reference section,
pages that have other references are linked together and pages that are
too long to fit on one screen have an attribute list in the non-scrolling
region, so the user can check they're on the right page.
NOTE : Versions 1.0c and 1.0d were not released publicly. They were just
interim versions in which I used to add aesthetic changes.
1.0b Released 28/4/95
Included Netscape's LOWSRC attribute, corrected some typos and
added graphical screenshot links to the table examples.
1.0a Released 25/4/95
Corrected title graphic problem.
1.0 Released 24/4/95
DISLCAIMER
----------
This reference is supplied 'as is'. I take no responsibility
if it breaks your system, or crashes Windows. It's only a Windows
Help file...it shouldn't do anything stupid. But if it does, it's
not my fault.
