New in HTML Wizard version 1.51
(1) Added a nice splash screen while the program loads.
(2) Fixed some bugs with v. 1.50:
(a) File saving was not done properly, and the new file was
being appended to the old one rather than overwriting it.
(b) Choosing "Close" from the "File" menu would not prompt
the user to save changes if the file had been modified.
(c) I had inadvertently removed the code to load the REXXUtil
library, causing all sorts of problems with previewing
and using the new WebLint feature.
*********************************
New in HTML Wizard vsersion 1.50
(1) You can now have your HTML document checked for syntax errors by
clicking on "Check Document with WebLint" under the "File" menu.
THIS ONLY WORKS IF YOUR NETWORK CONNECTION IS ACTIVE. What the program
does is send your document to the WebLint web site (www.unipress.com)
for syntax checking.
(2) Added WIDTH, HEIGHT, and ALT entities to the IMG tag window. If
you specify a GIF file, HTML Wizard will automatically fill in the
WIDTH and HEIGHT entries with the correct values.
(3) The Alt-z key sequence repeats the insertion of the last tag. This
makes it a little easier when you have to add the same tag repeatedly
(like the <P> tag).
(4) Removed the dependency on RXEXTRAS.DLL. You can delete this file
from your HTML Wizard directory.
(5) Fixed some bugs:
(a) The preview file is now saved in the working directory rather
than the HTML Wizard directory. This enables Web Explorer to find
images and linked items listed in your HTML file.
(b) Alt-r now brings up the Characters menu. Previously this was
set to Alt-h, conflicting with the Help menu hotkey.
(c) The correct closing tag for the underline tag is now inserted
when using the horizontal Tagbar.
(d) The "Hide Tagbar" setting is now correctly stored in the .ini
file, so that the proper setting is used when the program is
restarted.
*********************************
New in HTML Wizard version 1.40:
(1) Support for some HTML 3 tags has been added, including
tables and backgrounds.
(2) Added a URL item for NAME=... links in an anchor.
(3) Added the FONT tag
(4) Fixed a problem that messed up previewing when Translate
Non-English Characters was turned off.
*********************************
New in HTML Wizard version 1.32:
(1) Previewing with Web Explorer is now easier. To preview your
HTML document, just select "Preview Document" from the "File"
menu, or press F10.
********************************
New in HTML Wizard version 1.3:
(1) A new "Options" item, "Translate Non-English Characters" allows
you to edit HTML documents using non-English characters directly. This
feature mainly benefits users of code pages whose non-English characters
are available on their keyboards. HTML Wizard will (if this option is
checked) pass files through a filter that converts these characters
to and from their corresponding HTML entities when loading and saving
the files. So, instead of seeing ö, you will see a single 'o'
character with the umlaute accent. If you do not have your keyboard
set up for a non-English character set, it is best to leave this
option off. No harm will be done in using it, but file I/O will be
slower because it has to pass through the translator. See the online
help for more details on this feature.
(2) Forms support has finally been added.
(3) "Save Without Tags" is done through a C++ program rather than
REXX, so it is much faster now. As of now, only <....> tags are removed.
Character entities such as & are not converted. I hope to have this
implemented soon.
********************************
New in HTML Wizard version 1.25:
(1) Added automatic insertion of <P> tags when text files
are imported. (Can be toggled in the Options menu)
(2) Added automatic insertion of <P> and <BR> tags when
blocks of text are selected.
(3) Added an option to control whether <LI> tags are
automatically inserted when lists are created.
(4) Added a "Save Without Tags" feature to save an HTML
file without the HTML tags so that it can be imported
into other editors, or to send text by email without
all the tags, etc. Right now, this is done in REXX, so it
can be painfully slow for a large file. Experiment with
small files first to find out what your patience limit
is. I have already coded this up in C++ to be much
faster, but it will take a little time to get it merged
seamlessly with HTML Wizard. It should make the next
release, so this is just to whet your appetite. :-)
