- HyperText Markup Language Editor v1.1.1
-
- * Project Strategy
-
- HTML.edit is an editor for the HyperText Markup Language,
- the text-based coding used for documents on World Wide Web
- (WWW). All HTML-coded documents created by HTML.edit are
- saved external to the editor as ASCII text files. World Wide
- Web servers follow HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) and
- deliver on demand HTML documents to remote clients using
- browser programs like NCSA Mosaic.
-
- HTML.edit is a standalone HyperCard 2.2 application and does
- not require HyperCard to run. It includes a lot of useful
- features such as a B&W or color palette with pop-up menus
- (senses your screen depth), multiple documents, master
- headers and footers, drag-and-drop editing (with HTML.edit
- already open), hypertext-style help, resizeable editor
- window, command-key equivalents for commonly-used codes,
- option-return for <P>, and HTML code indexing - displays all
- instances of the selected HTML code within your document.
-
- It follows the HTML specification for naming conventions and
- implements most HTML codes, including lists, images, anchors
- and text formats.
-
- * Installing HTML.edit 1.1.1
-
- HTML.edit uses the Futura font in sizes 10 and 12 point. A
- font suitcase containing these is included with the
- HTML.edit distribution. System 6 users should use the
- Font/DA Mover to install the fonts; System 7 users should
- drop the suitcase onto their System Folder. HTML.edit will
- operate without the Futura font, but will contain cosmetic
- defects that make it difficult to read some text. If you
- already have 10 and 12 point Futura installed, do not
- install the font suitcase.
-
- The editor will operate with as little as 1050K memory, but
- will not be able to zoom to a larger screen size. I'd
- recommend giving the application 1300K of RAM, as then
- you'll be able to enlarge the window to its full 640 by 640
- pixel size, and hopefully eliminate any memory-related
- problems. If 1300K of RAM seems a lot, remember how much you
- normally allocate to HyperCard.
-
- * New Features
-
- Most of the new features are covered under specific topics.
- More generally:
-
- This editor is a standalone application and does not require
- HyperCard to run. It's larger than a stack, as it includes
- the HyperCard engine. The advantage is that HyperCard 2.2 is
- not required to use it.
-
- This version sports an Index card, with functions for saving
- and deleting multiple documents.
-
- With version 1.1.1, a number of new conversion commands and
- a Replace command (including global replaces) have been
- added.
-
- There are new Undo HTML and Remove HTML commands.
-
- Improvements to the Images and Create HyperText Link command
- dialogs. A URL PopUp Menu has been added, to simplify
- entering URLs (Uniform Resource Locators, the Internet
- "address") into your documents. Now allows the URL list on
- the Preferences card to also be used in this capacity.
-
- The Editor Window is now sizeable up to 640 by 640 pixels.
- Option-drag on the document (not window) zoom box to display
- a popUp menu of standard window sizes, or use the Scroll
- Window.
-
- Each document is divided into a Header, Body, and Footer
- section. This is designed to help you create a more
- standardized interface for your projects, and also allows
- for documents larger than 30K characters. See Document
- Structure for more information.
