Introduction

Description

Aardvark Pro for Windows is a  HyperText Markup Language (HTML) editor.

Aardvark Pro is, essentially, an ASCII editor not unlike a turbo charged version of Notepad.  The big difference is that it knows about HTML.

Many options have been included to speed up the process of creating HTML documents.   As soon as the program is loaded you are presented with a new template that has all of the main sections of a HTML document.  Simply start writing your document.

To include the predefined HTML labels (tags) in your document simply position the cursor where you wish to place the tag and click on the toolbar button or choose from the Insert Menu.  If the tag is a wrap around type ie. Heading, all you need to do is select the text to use and click.

Aardvark Pro doesn't require an expensive Web browser just to preview your document.  A simple preview facility is built-in.  Just click on the preview button or select File-Preview HTML (F9) and Aardvark Pro will show you what your document will look like when it's on the Web.

Features

•	Multiple Document Interface.

•	Built-in Wizards guide you through creating Documents, Tables and Forms.

•	Save any document as a template and use the template to create a consistent look and feel in your pages.

•	Use the URL library to store your frequently used URLs, then insert them into your documents with one click.

•	The Project Manager provides a visual representation of your project and a quick way of opening all files in a project.

•	Comprehensive Tool Bars provide one click access to all HTML directives.

•	Preview and Test your HTML documents with the built-in preview function.

•	Use Aardvarks Macro facility to create short cuts to regularly used phrases.

•	Unique Plug-Ins keep the HTML up to date and allow you add your favourite commands.

•	Support for HTML 1, 2 3 and Netscape extensions.

•	Cut and Paste between documents.

•	Use the Home Page Wizard to create your first home page in just 10 seconds.

•	Drag and Drop capabilities.

The Aardvark Home Page Wizard steps you through the creation of your Home Page.

A HTML document can be considered to be made up of several distinct

sections.

A document header and title section.

The main body of the document, and

A footer.

The wizard asks you for the above information as well as other design options, then automatically creates a HTML document based upon these choices.

How to use the wizard.

Simply work your way through each section providing information and/or

selecting choices as you go.

When you have answered all questions, click on the Create button and 'Presto' there it is, your very own home page.
