Introduction to the WAPtor program

The WAPtor program is a simple but powerful WML editor for Windows 95/98, Windows NT, and Windows 2000 systems. It simplifies WAP pages development supporting the insertion of WML tags, easy-to-read color distinction of WML tags in the code of WAP page, and also the preview showing the approximate appearance of the designed page on the mobile phone display.

The main window of WAPtor consists of two panes. The left pane shows WML code of the designed pages in the form of tabs. The right pane displays the approximate appearance of the designed page. This pane is not refreshed automatically, because it is not linked to the particular tab. User can refresh the contents of the preview pane manually - it then shows the product of the WML code in the active tab. The Preview pane helps to see, how the WAP page will look like at the mobile phone display. It is not the exact simulation of a mobile phone - it does not contain WMLScript, it does not take care of the limitations of mobile phones.

The WAPtor program allows opening and editing existing WML files, or creating new files. It enables to work with more than one file at a moment. The text editor enhanced with the color syntax highlighting gives users the opportunity to navigate through the WML code more easily, and to make changes more effectively.
