Emilé™ Lite is a free Extensible Markup Editor for Macintosh. It is used to author documents using XML and Extensible HTML. There are only three requirements for using Emilé Lite for free:
1. Submit at least one suggested improvement for each new version of Emilé Lite that you use. Email your feedback to emile@in-progress.com.
2. Subscribe to the Emile News or Emile Talk mailing lists so that we can keep you up to date about new versions. See below for how to subscribe.
3. Tell somebody else about Emilé and where it can be found.
Emilé Lite is the limited free edition of Emilé, the premier extensible markup editor for Mac. The fully featured and supported edition of Emilé is optimized for PowerPC, making it a lot faster than the Lite edition. The professional edition has many additional features for markup authoring. Further information about Emilé can be found at <http://www.in-progress.com/emile>. Contact sales@in-progress.com to purchase Emilé, or use the form on our website.

MAILING LISTS
We maintain two mailing lists for the benefit of users of Emilé and Emilé Lite:
The Emilé News mailing list is a one way mailing list where we post announcements about new releases of the software. Subscribe by sending an email to <emile-news-request@interaction.in-progress.com> containing the word "subscribe" followed by your email address.
The Emilé Talk mailing list provides discussion of issues relevant for web authors that use Emilé. Subscribe by sending an email to <emile-talk-request@interaction.in-progress.com> containing the word "subscribe" followed by your email address.
QUICK START
Before starting Emilé Lite, Disable Norton CrashGuard (if you use it) and optionally Ram/Speed Doubler, as these contains flaws that may cause Emilé Lite to misbehave.
1. Start Emilé by double-clicking on the application icon. The first time you start the application, Emilé will take some time to start as it caches the DTDs of the Document Types folder in the Cache Database file. Subsequent startups will be immediate.
2. Create a new document by choosing New from the File menu. Optionally type or paste some text content into the editor window.
3. Select a Document Type from the Markup menu, e.g. the one labeled "W3C DTD HTML 4.0 EN" under Extensible HTML. Emilé will add a document type declaration to the top of the document, and adapt the dialogs and menus to the elements and entities of the document type.
4. Use the Elements submenu of the Markup menu to insert elements in your document. Alternatively, open the Tags Catalog from the Windows menu, which provides a palette listing the available tags.
5. Save the XML document from the File menu. Use XML as the format if you are asked while saving.
6. Publish an HTML page for the XML document by choosing Save As from the File menu, selecting the radio button for HTML in the dialog. Emilé will generate a standard HTML page from the XML document, making the page accessible for all web browsers.
We have included a basic XML Tutorial with the Emilé distribution. It is a good idea to complete the lessons of the tutorial to learn how you can customize the editor for your needs. We recommend that you supplement with a book or reference manual about XML to get the most out of Emilé. Some on-line XML resources are available from our website at <http://www.in-progress.com/xml>.
ABOUT XML
Extensible Markup Language (XML) is an open document standard for structured content. XML is intended for use on the World Wide Web, for vendor-neutral data interchange, media-independent (one-source) publishing, collaborative authoring, and processing of web documents by intelligent agents. XML became an official recommendation of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) in February 1998. It is already a mature standard as it is a subset of a well-established comprehensive international (ISO) standard for rich content (SGML).
The W3C has announced that the next version of HTML will be based on XML. Extensible HTML allows use of features from XML in HTML documents. Emilé can save an XML or Extensible HTML document as standard HTML, so you can author with extensible markup while still making the page accessible for common web browsers. Thus you can leapfrog the delay of browsers catching up with the standards, and immediately benefit from the flexibility and efficiency of maintaining your content as extensible markup.
XML differs from HTML and most other document formats by describing the content and structure rather than the presentation. In descriptive markup, tags are used to declare the role of the various parts of the document, leaving the presentation to be designed in style sheets. A major benefit of this approach to publishing is that documents don't have to be modified when changing their look & feel. It also allows documents to be reused for various purposes by applying different processing engines. In contrast, publishing formats that mix presentation instructions or commands with markup limit your documents to predefined processing or appearance.
XML can be used as authoring format for more efficient web publishing rather than served directly to the browsers. Advanced XML markup processors such as Interaction and XPublish (available from www.in-progress.com) generate standard HTML pages based on XML documents and style sheets. This gives you the flexibility of extensible markup and style sheets while keeping your sites accessible for all web browsers.
Emilé automatically adapts its dialogs and user interface depending on the current document type, allowing you to customize the editor using XML. A document type is set of XML elements and constructs declared in a Document Type Definition (DTD). Emilé is distributed with several pre-installed document types, included SMIL and extensible versions of HTML. The latter facilitates a smooth transition from HTML to XML, allowing use of custom tags and other XML constructs in your current HTML documents. New Document Type Definitions (DTDs) can be added to the Document Types folder of Emilé, and you can tailor the editor to your needs by declaring document specific markup using the dialogs of the Markup menu.
KNOWN PROBLEMS
• Norton Crashguard, RAM-Doubler and Speed-Doubler has flaws that may cause Emilé Lite to crash. Disable these extensions before running the application.
• Virtual Memory will slow down Emilé Lite considerably. If you have enough RAM, disable Virtual Memory before using Emilé.
• Emilé is likely to misbehave if the application runs out of RAM, which may happen if you open large documents or multiple documents at the same time, or if you have many or large DTDs in the Document Types folder. See the About Emilé dialog to inspect how much RAM is free (the value you get when using get Info in Finder cannot be used to determine actual memory use). If you think the Emilé ran out of memory, quit the application, trash the Cache Database, increase the memory allocation, and restart.
• A document type may become stale or disappear if the computer crashes or the DTD is added directly to the Document Types folder instead of created using Emilé. The fix is to quit Emilé, trash the Cache Database file, and restart the application.
• Some G3 PPC Macs running certain versions of System 8.x may not allow Emilé Lite to start. If so, you have to use the PRO edition of Emilé instead.
• MacOS Version 7.5.1 has a bug that can cause Emilé Lite to crash when opening the file dialogs. The fix is to upgrade to System 7.5 Update 2 or later.
• Emilé Lite may not work with all versions of MacOS System 6. if you want to use Emilé under System 6, please contact emile@in-progress.com and we'll see what we can do about it.
Please report any problems that aren't listed to bugs@in-progress.com.
