About HTML HyperEdit

HTML HyperEdit is a facility designed for MS-Windows(tm) users to aid and assist in the creation of HTML documents. It also comes with an introduction to Global Hypermedia tutorial and a walkthrough on how to use the editor.

HTML documents are simply plain text documents with special tags that client programs such as NCSA Mosaic use to decide how to display the text (bold, italics) and how to link documents together.

HTML is a collection of styles used to define various components of the document.

This version is largely based on A Beginners Guide to HTML produced by NCSA. (Thanks guys!). It also builds on and (hopefully!) improves upon the first two versions of the editor.

Background

This program has been put together entirely in my own spare time for the following purposes:-

To make it easier to edit HTML documents, including creation of and importing existing text documents for quick conversion to HTML
So I could become more familiar with HTML and also get in a bit of Toolbook development. (I didn't have time to do it in C, apologies to the purists out there!)
To provide a tool that someone who knows little about HTML could use for creating documents and learning about HTML. (I may as well make my teaching tasks easier too!)

Although there are some good Word macros to make HTML documents, editors on other platforms are available etc, a Windows editor was lacking. There is a great RTF2HTML converter, but that doesn't really help someone who wants to learn about HTML and create documents quickly and easily.

So I thought I'd throw one together, primarily for myself in the first instance.

However, I've made it available for anyone else who may find it useful. (FTP to info.curtin.edu.au, directory pub/internet/mswindows/hyperedit). Or download via a Web viewer.
