Introduction
What is the HTML Grinder?
[The HTML Grinder is not an editor. It is not a WYSIWYG tag converter or a friendly tutorial
6]for those trying to learn the Hypertext Markup Language. It
s not like any other HTML utility
ve ever seen, but once you try it out, you may find you can't live without it.
UThe Grinder was developed to meet the needs of advanced Webmasters who need to manage
6Xsites comprising dozens or hundreds of pages. The Grinder won
t write your pages for you
¥the way an editor will, but it will help you maintain them and keep them in order far better
than any mere editor could.
YSay your Web site has been up for a while, and now you
ve changed your email address. Say
6Zthat email address appears on every one of your fifty pages. How is your HTML editor going
^to help? You have to open each text file in turn, make the change, and move on to the next. If
re quick, this will keep you busy for about fifteen minutes.
[The Grinder lets you do it all in a single stroke. You just drag all your HTML documents on
6`the Grinder icon, set up a single search-replace dialog box, and click the start button. All the
Bchanges in all your HTML documents are done in less than a minute.
[Or say you want to make a table of contents to your site so folks can choose a page from an
6Walphabetical list. Or have you ever wanted to put a date on the bottom of each page? Or
Ymaybe make a chain of pages, with next and previous links leading the reader from page to
page.
YAn editor can put these kinds of elements on your pages, but you still have to do all the
6Fclicking and typing. The Grinder can put these elements on your pages
automatically.
6Yjust drag the files you want onto the Grinder icon, set a few parameters, and the Grinder
handle starts to spin!
Plug-In Tool Approach
^The Grinder doesn
t do anything by itself. It requires special plug-in tools, called
wheels,
6'to make changes to your HTML documents.
QEach wheel is a miniature program that performs a specific task. One wheel does a
6^find/replace, another wheel creates a table of contents, another puts a date stamp on all your
Zpages, and so forth. This modular approach makes it possible to expand the capabilities of
Vthe Grinder by releasing new wheels. And it lets you save money by purchasing only the
Zwheels you find the most useful. A discount is available if you purchase all the wheels at
once.

""""""
QAnd what are those icons supposed to be? Why, they
re the
wheels,
 the kind that
6Vplug into those industrial-grade food grinders for grating cheese. Watch your fingers!
*     Demo Mode
VThe Grinder program and one of the wheels, the
Find and Replace
 wheel, are free. You
66may use this software forever at absolutely no charge.
YThe other Grinder wheels ship in
demo mode
 which allows you to try them out for a short
6^time before purchasing. The wheels are fully functional, but they expire after a few weeks and
Fyou need to register them with a serial number to continue using them.
TYou can purchase the serial numbers directly from the Matterform Media web site (see
6[below). You can buy numbers for all the wheels, or just for the ones you use the most. Once
Lucida Bright
)HTML Grinder
 http://www.matterform.com/
Page
6Vyou receive your numbers and enter them into the software, you will be able to use the
5Grinder wheels indefinitely and without interruption.
Important:
ODo not open any of the wheels until you are ready to evaluate it. If you open a
6_wheel for a quick look, then close it and don
t come back to it for a month, you will find that
Zit has expired before you even had a chance to review it. Downloading a new wheel will not
it will be expired too.
Also Important:
-When you receive your serial numbers, install
6Sthem right away. They will expire in a few days if you do not use them soon enough.
RWhen a wheel is opened in Demo Mode, it prompts you to enter a serial number or to
continue in Demo Mode. See the
Appendix
)6. for more information about serial numbers and
Demo Mode.

6'Loading your documents into the Grinder
TTo begin work with the Grinder, you first need to load a group of documents into the
6[Grinder. You do this simply by dragging documents on to the Grinder icon in the Finder. You
can also drag
folders
)$F onto the Grinder icon, which will load all the documents contained in
6]the folder, as well as all documents in all sub-folders. This is a quick and easy way to load
#large numbers of documents at once.
WGenerally you only need to load HTML documents into the Grinder, though some wheels let
6Gyou work on image files as well. The Grinder is pre-configured to load
 documents with
.html
 suffixes. To load other kinds of documents, see
Preferences,
 below.
Important Warning
SThe Grinder makes extensive and permanent alterations to large numbers of your HTML
6Vdocuments at once. There is no way to undo the modifications performed by the Grinder.
VPlease exercise caution and make sure you have recent backups of the documents you are
about to grind.
4Dragging documents and folders onto the Grinder icon
SYou must do this work in the Finder, before you even open the HTML Grinder program.
6FFirst, arrange your windows so that you can see both the Grinder icon
 the documents and
folders you want to load.

The Grinder Wheels
VThis section describes and gives instructions for each of the wheels included with the
6YGrinder. This is where the real work gets done! To use the wheels, you should know how to
Kdrag documents onto the Grinder icon, as described in the previous section.
    Demo Mode
ZWhen any wheel opens, it displays the registration dialog box. If you do not have a serial
6Ynumber yet, you can click
 and continue. Later on, if you decide to purchase serial
'numbers for any of the wheels, see the
Appendix
 for more information.
Find and Replace
0ff`Fff
<ff`>ff
f&ffd
6The Find and Replace wheel is free. Even if you do not
6<purchase serial numbers for any of the other wheels, you can
<use this wheel at no charge, although the Demo messages will
;appear every time the wheel is opened. The wheel will never
<expire, but you can eliminate these messages by purchasing a
serial number.
5The Find and Replace wheel works the way any Find and
62Replace command works in most word processors. The
Ddifference is that this wheel will search at a single stroke all the
:documents you drag onto the Grinder icon. You only need to
7type the phrases into the fields once and then hit the
Find &
Replace
 button.
?¥If you want the search to match case (i.e. find only words that exactly match the pattern of
6;upper and lower case letters in the Find field), check the
Case Sensitive
 box. This box is not
6[available in Demo mode. If you want to use this feature, you will need to purchase a serial
9number for this wheel or for the complete Grinder bundle.
¥You can search for a string of text up to 255 characters long. You can replace with a string
6¥of text up to 30,000 characters. This limitation applies to all wheels that perform a search
^(e.g., the Glossary wheel, below). As with all Grinder wheels, you can type or paste text into
the input fields.

8The Glossary wheel is an enhanced Find and Replace wheel
68that lets you make multiple changes in your documents at
once.
Creating glossary entries
;You use the Glossary wheel by setting up glossary
entries
64or find/replace settings. To create an entry, click
G    New Entry
or type
5N. A blank line will be highlighted in the scrollable
6?list of glossary entries and two new fields will appear beneath
    the list.
In the field
Replace this glossary text,
 type in the text you
68wish to search for in your HTML documents. In the field
this HTML code,
)¥, type in the text you want to insert in your
6-HTML documents in place of the glossary text.
UThe glossary text will now be listed as an entry in the scrolling list. If you click
Replace

)MQ at this point, this wheel will function exactly like the Find and Replace wheel.

?ZBut the real point is that now you can set up a second, third, and fourth entry
as many as
you like. Just click the
    New Entry
)<9 button and fill out the fields to add new entries to the
6 scrollable list. When you click
Replace Glossary Text,
& the Grinder will go through each HTML
60document in turn and perform a find and replace
for each one
 of your glossary entries.
Removing and changing entries
ZYou can remove glossary entries just by clicking on them in the list and then clicking the
Delete Entry
)EP button. You will be asked to confirm your decision. And you can edit entries by
6]clicking on them in the list, and then changing the text that appears in the find and replace
fields.
Case Sensitive Searches
¥If you want the search to match case (i.e. find only words that exactly match the pattern of
6;upper and lower case letters in the Find field), check the
Case Sensitive
 box. The settings of
this box affect searches for
9 glossary entries. There is no way to make different case

9Replace Tagged Text is a specialized Search/Replace tool.
It lets you search for
% strings of text (called tags), throw
6<out all the text that lies between them, and replace it with
    new text.
Tagging text in your pages
9In order to use this wheel, you need to design your pages
6;with this strategy in mind. There will be certain chunks of
6text in your pages that you will want to change fairly
9frequently. You can
 these chunks so that the Tagged
 Text wheel can find them easily.
<To tag a chunk of text, place one non-displaying comment tag
 before it and another
6_(different) comment after it. For a chunk of text you want to identify as a
footer
, you would
tag it as follows:
Courier

Your text and HTML code here...
<!--end of footer-->
Replacing the tagged text
0In the Tagged Text wheel, you would now specify
<!--footer-->
 as the beginning tag and
<!--end of footer-->
)~B as the end tag. Then type or paste into the large scrolling field
6Qwhatever text you want you want to insert between those two tags. When you click
Replace
Tagged Text,
)IL the wheel will go through each one of your documents, find the text between
<!--footer-->
 and

the large scrolling field.

6#How AutoIndexer modifies your pages
IAutoIndexer places the index at the point in the file you specify in the
Index File
)7     pane. It
68places the index within the non-displaying comment tags
Courier
<!--Index-->
 and
<!--End of
Index-->
)5@. AutoIndexer does not modify the index file any more than this.
?VHowever, AutoIndexer makes more extensive modifications to the pages you drag onto the
6'Grinder icon to be searched. It places
<a name>
)6+ tags around every keyword that it finds in
6¥those documents, in order to create the scrolling links. There are a few things you may want
.to know about how AutoIndexer adds these tags:
The names used in the
<a name>
)55 tags are generated automatically and are of the form
AutIndx
 followed by a numeral (e.g.,
<a name="AutIndx32">Apple</a>
Once a
<a name>
)4B tag is added to a document, it cannot be removed, except by hand.
BWhen indexing first instances only, AutoIndexer will add only one
<a name>
 tag per
UJkeyword per document. When indexing all instances, AutoIndexer will add a
<a name>
tag and build a link to
every
2 keyword in a document. If you then switch back to
UYindexing first instances only, AutoIndexer will create links to the first instances only,
but all the
<a name>
 tags will remain.
$If a keyword is already wrapped in a
     <a name>
)<( tag, AutoIndexer does not add a new tag
U?but leaves the original tag as it is and uses it for the links.
RAutoIndexer will locate keywords that are portions of other words, but places the
name>
)!J tags around complete words only. For example, if you specify
Apple
 as a
ULkeyword, AutoIndexer will also find
Appleseed
 and will generate a tag like
 <a name="AutIndx4">Appleseed</a>
  (not
)#!<a name="AutIndx4">Apple</a>seed
?ZAs with all Grinder wheels, it is important to maintain backup copies of the pages you are

sections
scrolling
links
?-Scroller takes a long scrolling document with
6.multiple sections in it and installs scrolling
,links at the top of the page which users can
*click on to jump to the different sections
-further down on the page. To accomplish this,
the wheel places a standard
<a name="link">
61tag around each section title, and then creates a
    standard
<a href="#link">
 tag at the top of
6/the page. You can use Scroller to provide basic
0hypertext navigation for a long sequential page,
quickly and automatically.
,Generally, you will use Scroller on only one
6/page at a time. As always, make sure you have a
(backup of your page before you Grind it.
UThe page you drag onto the Grinder icon must contain section titles which are clearly
6^identified by HTML tags. The best way is to have each one of your section titles marked with a
heading tag (
     through
A). Scroller will then create a scrolling link for each heading in
6*your document. To use this setting, check
Scroll to Heading Tags.
 You can also choose the
6;heading level that Scroller should start at. If you select
# as the starting tag, Scroller will
ignore
 and
<h2>
)"$tags and create scrolling links for
 headings and higher. This is
useful when you use
C as the tag for the uppermost title which therefore does not need a
scrolling link.
YThe great advantage to using heading tags is that if you use multiple levels of headings,
6eScroller will reflect the different levels by creating a hierarchical list of scrolling links. In the
Lucida Bright
)HTML Grinder

)H) and enter the HTML tag which was used to
67mark up all the section titles. For example, if each of
+your section titles is in bold type, enter
. Scroller will
68automatically figure out the appropriate closing tag (in
this example,
#). Make sure that the tag you enter
64here is not used anywhere in the document except for
the section titles.
1On pages with scrolling links, it is customary to
6<include in each section a link which will scroll the visitor
8back up to the table of contents links at the top of the
9page. You can include this tag automatically by checking
Include Link to Top.
 You can
6Zspecify the way this link should read. When you use this option, a link to the top will be
]installed immediately after each section title and formatted to be one font size smaller than
the surrounding text.
¥When you use scrolling links, it is sometimes helpful to advise your visitors that the links
6]will take them to a different spot on the same page, rather than to a brand new page. You can
_do this by attaching the Scrolldown and Scrollup QBullets to each of your links. They look like
this:
 This link scrolls down the page:
    Section 1
This link scrolls up the page:
Return to top
?¥The QBullets are included in the Grinder Extras folder. To use the QBullets, first copy them
6Qto an appropriate location on your Web site. Then, in the Scroller window, check
Scrolldown QBullet
 and/or
Use Scrollup QBullet.
)v* A dialog box appears asking you to locate
6[the appropriate QBullet GIF file. When you select the graphic file, the pathname appears to
Uthe right of the checkbox. To select a different graphic, just click on the pathname.
WFor more QBullets you can add to your Web site for free, see http://www.matterform.com.
Finally, you can use the
Append
)+5 popup menu to select where in your document your new
6¥links should be installed. For more information on this popup menu, see the instructions for
Appender
 wheel.
?,When you have made all your settings, click
Install Scrolling Links.
Watch your fingers
RYou should always backup your files before Grinding them. Scroller makes extensive
64modifications to your pages, such as installing the
<a name="link">
 tags, which cannot be
undone.

?TWhen you insert a date stamp for the first time, the HTML code is wrapped in the non
displaying comment tags
<!--date stamp-->
Palatino

?VThe next time you insert a date stamp on a page, the wheel ignores the setting of the
Insert

the new one in its place.
YKeep in mind that when you add the last modified date to each of your documents, you will

5You already know you should be giving all your images
65ALT parameters. The ALT parameter is used for inlined
images and looks like this:
<img
alt="description"
 src="file.gif">
?5The ALT parameter is used to make your site usable to
6]visitors who can
t see your images and specifies alternative text that should be displayed if
Wfor any reason the image itself is not displayed (for example, a visitor has turned off
Zautomatic image downloading in his browser software, or if he is using a text-only browser
Lucida Bright
)HTML Grinder
 http://www.matterform.com/
Page
6¥like Lynx). So if you had a button that displays a picture of a house and links to your home
Xpage, you would give the image an ALT parameter of
 which would appear to the user
5as clickable hypertext instead of a graphical button.
WUnfortunately, who ever thinks to put those pesky things in? The Altifier means you can
6¥design your whole Web site and then drop the ALT parameters in at the last minute. It simply
Xsearches for all the inlined images in your pages and adds an ALT parameter based on the
Cfilename minus the file-type suffix. So if you had an image tag of:
Courier
<img src="home.gif">
?'the Altifier would transform that into:
<img alt="home" src="home.gif">

Insert Image Size Tags
Important Note:
 Insert Image Size Tags is an
unsupported
 wheel. It is not for sale
6 individually but is included at
    no charge
)71 when you purchase the complete bundle of wheels.
6YDue to the many GIF file formats and system configurations out there, it is impossible to
[guarantee that this wheel will work properly on your computer. Please exercise caution when
&using this wheel (keep backups, etc.).
¥The best way to insert an inlined GIF image is to include the width and height parameters in
6*your image size tags. They look like this:
<img
width=100 height=34
 src="image.gif">
?YThe beauty of these tags is that they let the browser software know how big your pictures
6[are right away. That way, the browser can completely lay out the text before it even starts
Ydownloading the pictures. The page appears immediately with properly sized blanks for the
agraphics, which gradually fill in. If you don
t insert these tags, the text layout halts at every
;graphic and your page seems to take much longer to display.
WUnfortunately, putting those width and height tags in is a royal pain. You have to keep
6[opening up a graphics editor to refer to the pixel dimensions of the image, and then switch
^back to your editor to type the numbers in. The Insert Image Size Tags wheel will insert these
*width and height parameters automatically.

UIf you know what kind of files they are supposed to be, Recreator lets you share that
 information with your Macintosh.
XSometimes a colleague will give you some HTML files that she typed up in Microsoft Word.
6]But when you double-click a file, you don
t want it to open in Microsoft Word; you want it to
]open in your HTML Editor. Recreator lets you switch the creator code so that these files will
open in the program you choose.
How to use this wheel
UJust drag all the files whose type codes or creator codes you want to change onto the
6]Grinder icon. You can drag any kind of file
text, graphics, whatever. Then open the Recreator
wheel window.

Cool Tip
[The real challenge in colorizing pages is picking text and background colors that work well
6¥together. And it
s a pain to have to figure out a new hexadecimal code and type it into your
¥HTML documents just because you want to see what the page looks like if you lighten the text
    up a bit.
m!Netscape Color Preferences Window
?[Netscape lets you set the colors of your background, text and hypertext links from a single
6ZPreferences window. You can use the Netscape preferences to experiment with colors and see
Dyour changes immediately, without having to code them in HTML first.
[The Netscape color picker is identical to the one used by the Color Calculator. So once you
6Yget the colors the way you want in Netscape, you can just write down the HSB or RGB color
]values from the Netscape color picker and transfer them to Color Calculator color picker. The
colors will match exactly.

?One of the beauties of the Web is that it

AThat
s no big deal if your site is small. But if you have lots of
6=pages, it gets very tedious to drag them one-by-one onto your

[The Site Printer requires Netscape. The only option you have to set is the location of your
Netscape application. Click
Select Netscape Application...

.The AppleScript wheel lets you create your own
60Grinder wheels using the AppleScript programming
7language. The Grinder handles all the complicated parts
5for you: loading your HTML files, opening them up one
3by one, saving the changes, displaying the progress
1thermometer, etc. All you have to add is the text
juggling features you want.
0You can type your AppleScript in the large field
69provided. When your script starts, it will have access to
!two constants. The first, called
filename
 contains the
6(name of the file currently being grinded
 . The second,
called
filecontents
)<" contains all the text of the file
6]currently being grinded. You can access these constants the way you access any variables. But
Dyou don
t have to create them; the Grinder will create them for you.
]When your script is finished, it doesn
t need to do anything to the current file. The Grinder
6Ywill take care of that for you too. The current file will be changed to whatever you have
changed the
filecontents
 variable to.
?[Here is a brief example. Lets say that, for some inscrutible reason, you wanted to take the
first word of each one of your
default.html
)A) pages and move it to the end of the HTML
6Qdocument. The following script is all you would need to type in the script field:
Courier
"if filename is "default.html" then
T   set filecontents to (word 2 to 30000 of filecontents) && (word 1 of filecontents)
end if
?TThe Grinder will open each HTML document you dragged onto the Grinder icon, starting
67with the first. The Grinder will create two variables.
filename
 will be the name of the first
HTML document.
filecontents
)<@ will be the text-only contents of the first document. Then your
6Yscript will start. The script given above will check to see whether the name of the first
5document is
default.html
. If it is, it will change
filecontents
)<  by moving the first word to the
6Xend. Now the Grinder will change the contents of the first HTML document to the value of
filecontents.
)BJAnd then the Grinder will move on to the next file and repeat the process.
?SWith the AppleScript wheel, you can do things that would be impossible with a basic
6WFind/Replace utility. You can check individual words and paragraphs for values and make
Udecisions based on what you find. By using variables, repeat structures, if-then-else
$statements, you can actually create
intelligent
 wheels.
?ZTake care with your scripting syntax. Errors will produce error messages, but no debugging
6ais available and it might be too late if you write a script that accidentally destroys your data.
QAs always, recent backups are a wise precaution when using the AppleScript wheel.
S Yes,
grinded
 is not a word, but it sounds better than

Sequential Linker
WMany Web designers often find themselves facing the task of connecting a group of pages
6]into a sequential chain, with links on each page that point to the next and previous pages in
Xthe chain. These chains require a great deal of work, especially when they have to be re
organized.
[The Sequential Linker makes this a task of one minute. It automatically connects pages in a
6]sequential chain with links that lead from page to page, forward and backward. It even allows
3you to add a link up to a
Table of Contents
 page.
+Loading your documents in the correct order
]To use this wheel, the first step is to select all the HTML documents in the chain. The order
6Zin which you select the documents determines the order in which they will be linked in the
]chain. The best method is to click on the first document in the chain, and then hold down the
Sshift key and click on the next document, the next document and so on until all the
Mdocuments are selected. Then let go of the shift key, point the mouse at the
first
     document
6>selected, and then drag the whole group onto the Grinder icon.
Settings
ZAfter you have loaded the documents, open the Sequential Linker if it is not already open,
6 and make the following settings:

Choose a Table of Contents Page
The first item is the checkbox
 Use Table of
Contents Page.
)S$ If you leave this button unchecked,
61the wheel will add only two links to each of your
3pages, one to the previous page and one to the next
4page. If you check this button, the wheel will add a
6third link to your pages, a link to a page outside the
3chain which can serve as a linked table of contents
1to all the documents in the chain (you can easily
6create the contents page with the Index Builder tool).
3If you are using a table of contents page, you need
6)to specify which page to use by clicking
Choose Contents Page...
 A standard open dialog box
6Xwill appear with which you can select the HTML document which will serve as the table of
_contents to the chain. The filename of the page you select appears in the field to the right of
the button.
Setting the link text
s skip down now to the three lower text fields, labeled
Return to TOC Text, Previous
Page Text, Next Page Text.
> The text you type in these fields will be used as the colored
6^underlined text which links to the table of contents page, the previous page in the chain, and
 the next page in the chain. The
Courier
9 and tags with a URL link reference will automatically be
61wrapped around the text you type in these fields.
6Separating the links and selecting where to place them
The text you type in the
Before Links
)G6 field is placed on the page before all the sequential
links. Likewise, the text in
After Links
)A2 is placed after the sequential links. The text in
Between Links
)QJ is placed between each link. You can type or paste as much HTML code into
6^these fields as you like (it doesn
t matter if it doesn
t all display). You can even use these
2fields to place your links inside bordered tables.
Lucida Bright

Page
?&Finally, there is a popup menu titled
Append
+which controls where on each page the links
6Qare placed. See the description of the identical popup menu in the Appender wheel
"instructions for more information.
The Results
]How does this all come together? If you keep the default settings, as they are illustrated in
6*the screen shot above, and then click the
Link Pages
);* button, the following text will be placed
6/at the end of every one of your HTML documents:
(Previous Page  |  Contents  |  Next Page
Previous Page
 will be linked to the previous page in the chain,
Contents
 will be linked to
the page you selected with the
Choose Contents Page...
' button, and
Next Page
 will be linked
6Zto the next page in the chain. All three links are separated by
 as specified in the
    Delimiter
)4T field. Each page will contain these links and you will be able to move from page to
6Opage
forward or backward or up to the contents page
just by clicking the links.
 If you don
t use a Contents page
^If you do not use a Contents page, the links will be identical except that the
Contents
 link
will be missing. The
Choose Contents Page...
 button and the
 Return to TOC Page
 text field
will both be disabled.
(What happens on the first and last pages
]The previous-page link on the first page is linked to the table of contents page (if there is
6aone) or to the last page in the chain. Likewise, the next-page link on the last page is linked to
Nthe table of contents page (if there is one) or to the first page in the chain
You can use pictures too
YThe easiest way to use this wheel is to use hypertext for your links, as described above.
6]However, there is nothing to prevent you from using inlined images for the previous, contents
and next page links.
[Create your image files of a left-pointing arrow, a right-pointing arrow and an up-pointing
6Yarrow for the contents page. Place these images in the same folder that contains the HTML
^documents in the chain you are creating. Then in the link text fields, instead of typing
)Page
 (or whatever), type something like
Courier
<img src="next.gif">
 (or whatever).
?YYou may have to play with the pathnames a bit. But experiment a little and you can easily
6Eadd handsome buttons to your pages as easily as boring old hypertext.
Updating the links
¥The first time you add sequential links to a page, the links are placed at whatever location
you specify with the
Append
),8 popup menu. The links are wrapped in the non-displaying
comment tags
<!--linkers-->
   and
<!--end of linkers-->
?RThe next time you run the Sequential Linker on the same pages, something very cool
happens. The wheel ignores the
Append
),* popup menu and looks for the comment tags
6`instead. The wheel then throws out the old links, and inserts the new links in their place. This
Zmakes it very easy for you to maintain your pages and re-order them without worrying about
"deleting the obsolete links first.
* See Appendix for more about comment tags.

StretchList
What are StretchLists
FStretchLists
 are a Web interface element designed by Matterform Media
. The StretchList
6Lwheel is a tool designed to help you create StretchLists quickly and easily.
WA StretchList is a way of condensing a long page of information into a simple, overview
6Wwhich can be taken in at a glance, and expanded at will. An illustration will make this
clearer
YFollowing is
 page of information. It contains some introductory information at the
6Xbeginning, and some closing information at the end. In between, it contains some natural
Zsections, which we shall call
elements,
 and which are named and formatted on the page as
8large bold text. A Web designer might tag them with the
Courier
" tag. Each of these Element titles
60precedes a paragraph or two of descriptive text.

?4That is the basic operation of a StretchList. It is
continuous
 hypertext as opposed to
discrete
hypertext.
Discrete
)*I hypertext is the kind that jumps the reader around from page to page and
6Wshows no obvious connection with other pages other than the underlined hypertext links.
Continuous
)<S hypertext maintains the continuity of a single view, but alters it slightly. It is
6@much easier to keep from getting lost with continuous hypertext.
 How StretchLists work on the Web
SThe Web has no provision for continuous hypertext. Therefore, we must trick it into
6Asimulating continuous hypertext by using only discrete hypertext.
WWe do this by taking the single source page, and breaking it into a number of different
6¥StretchList pages. There is a page for the completely condensed version, and a page for each
^of the expanded elements. The element titles link cleverly from page to page. In this way, the
Wappearance of continuity is maintained, even though we are actually moving from page to
discrete page.
aIf this sounds like a lot of work, it is. But the beauty of the StretchList wheel is that it does
all the work for you.
Formatting the source file
_To create a StretchList, you start from a single source file and insert tags that will instruct
6Jthe StretchList wheel how to break your source file up into a StretchList.

?[The element titles are the most important items to identify in the source file. You need to
6`wrap the element titles in a distinctive tag. The best thing to do is to wrap the element titles

# tag elsewhere in the document, you
6_will need to use a different tag. You can use any tag that has an opening and closing tag, such

)#  as long as that tag isn
t used
anywhere
 else in the
source file.
ZIf you want to include introductory and closing information (text, graphics or buttons) at
6]the top and bottom of every page of your StretchList, you will need to identify that as well.
WYou should mark this information with a non-displaying comment tag at the beginning and
4end of the information. You could use the following:
<!--header-->
0at the beginning of the introductory information
<!--end of header-->
*at the end of the introductory information
<!--footer-->
+at the beginning of the closing information
<!--end of footer-->
%at the end of the closing information
?XYou can use whatever tags you wish to mark the elements, header and footer but they must
6¥be unique tags. You will enter these same tags into the StretchList wheel before you run it.

Loading the source file
[The StretchList wheel is somewhat unusual in that it works on only one file at a time. Drag
your source file, and
C your single source file, onto the Grinder icon to load it. Another
6_unique feature of the StretchList wheel is its automatic backup of your source file. The source
^file is irrevocably altered
and, if you make even a small mistake, can be totally ruined
so it
,is vital that a backup is always maintained.

!The Grinder comes with the small

2icons into an appropriate folder in your Web site.

6Zspecial here only if you are using icons other than the standard icons which ship with the
4Grinder. If you are using the standard icons, click
Standard Icon Sizes
 to automatically enter
66the appropriate values in the height and width fields.
WYou can also choose whether you want the condensed and expanded icons to be part of the
6;hypertext link that controls the StretchList. If you check
LinkIcons,
 visitors will be able to
6`click on the element title text next to the triangular icons, or directly on the triangular icon
_itself, to collapse or expand the StretchList. Otherwise, the triangular icons are inactive and
:visitors must click on the text to the right of the icons.
Element tag
In the field

Run the wheel
VThat
s all the settings you need to make. When you run the wheel, your original source
6Xdocument will be permanently altered, and new documents will be created. Since it is not
Zpossible to undo the operation, the StretchList wheel automatically makes a backup of your
Usource file, in the same folder as the source file, and with the same name plus

The new files
2The StretchList wheel makes the following changes:
0Makes a backup of your source file and names it
sourcefile.html BU.
3Condenses the source file completely. Installs the
 icons.
PCreates a new file for each element. The new files are named the same as the now
U3altered source file with the addition of a numeral.
4Installs all the appropriate links in all the files.
?^So if you start with a source file called
list.html
 containing three elements,  you will now
have the following files:

    list.html
)M3now condensed and the first page of the StretchList
list1.html
list2.html
3the three expanded element pages in the StretchList
list3.html
Changing the StretchList
]The best way to change a StretchList is to go back to the backup of your source file, restore
6$its original name, make the changes
there,
. and then run it through the StretchList wheel
6Tagain. Make sure you always have a backup of your source file, as there is no way to
unstretch
 a page.

Broken links & bad HTML syntax
XTheseus reports its findings for each of your HTML pages. When Theseus is done grinding,

^list of files will appear in the scrolling field to the left, just underneath the

$A small portion of the relevant HTML
(code for the link appears, along with an
"indicator icon. The icons include:
 Hypertext link to a non-existent
Ffile (could be a typo in the HREF parameter, or a file that was moved)
SHypertext link with bad HTML syntax (could be missing quotation marks, missing </a>

6Zthe problem, and what the problem is. Sometimes, an error message appears next to the icon
6so you know exactly what needs to be done to the link.
Fixing links
[To fix a link, simply click on it. The HTML file opens in a text window. The window scrolls
6]automatically to the link you clicked on, and the HTML code for the link is selected. You can
Zmake appropriate changes to the HTML code right in this window and then close and save the
HTML text file.
DWhere more than one link is listed, the links appear in the list in
reverse
 of their order in
6¥the HTML document. That is, the first link in the list is actually the last link in the HTML
_document. When fixing or altering links, it is best to work from the first link listed straight
¥through to the last, (i.e., from the bottom of the HTML document up to the top). If you work
_in a different order, Theseus will lose track of the positions of the links in the document and
]will not scroll the text window correctly, making it more difficult to find links in the HTML
Qcode. (A future version of the Theseus wheel may overcome this minor limitation.)
^After you fix a link, the link still appears as an error in the link list. Go through all your
64pages and fix all the broken links. Then just click
Examine All Links
 again to check your site
65again and make sure you didn
t miss any broken links.
3Additional link analysis with the
 popup menu
DIn addition to finding broken links, Theseus can give you a complete
6Aanalysis of all the links
good and bad
that are used in your HTML
Bpages. When you are viewing the broken links only, the phrase
Links
 appears in the
% popup menu. To view different links,

Only Bad Links,
6<Theseus will keep track of broken links and bad HTML syntax
6Dand will not keep track of good links, outlinks, inlinks or dead end
2pages. This can also improve grinding performance.
_You can also configure Theseus so that it will ignore all links between certain pieces of text.
6¥Many web pages contain identical navigation buttons at the top or bottom of each page in the
[site. It is usually quite easy to maintain these links throughout the entire site using the
ZFind/Replace wheel or the Replace Tagged Text wheel, so it is not necessary to check these
links with the Theseus wheel.
^To ignore these links, simply type in two strings of text, one that marks the beginning of the
6¥links, and one that marks the end. Theseus will ignore any links that happen to fall between
^these strings of text. You can specify one or two chunks of text (or none), each marked out by
its own
Start
Gstring. By ignoring chunks of common links, you can achieve significant
performance boosts.
0Theseus will also run faster if you do not load
" HTML documents and no image files
6¥onto the Grinder icon. If you drag only HTML documents onto the Grinder, you can still check
]their image links. By not loading images, Theseus will not have to check the inlinks for each
$image file and will run much faster.

Eight Dot Three
WThe Macintosh and the World Wide Web allow you to use nice, long descriptive titles for
6^your files and folders. This can create a problem if you ever need to move a site created on a
]Macintosh over to a PC for editing or publishing because DOS and Windows will cruelly curtail
Vyour filenames to a mere eight characters. Links will fail to work and formerly unique
:filenames will become indistinguishable
for example, both
Courier
worldmap.html
 and
worldmap
6    big.html
would be truncated simply to
worldmap.htm
?[The Eight Dot Three wheel automatically converts your entire site to the shorter filenames.
6WThe wheel does more than just rename your files. It renames them intelligently to avoid
Yduplicate names and also corrects all the page and image links within your HTML pages. It
Zeven will shorten the names of your folders (or

Other Notes
[Code Police can be helpful even if you don
t receive files from other people. Often you may
6Wbe contemplating an extensive change to a number of pages in your Web site. You can use
aCode Police to create a manifest of all the files in your site that match certain criteria (e.g.,
^mentioning a person
s name, containing a particular image, etc.). This can give you an idea of
;how many files are affected before you actually begin work.
XYou can use Code Police to check files other than standard text files, e.g., GIF or JPEG
6^images. When checking non-text files, you can only examine the file name and the file path. If
`you create a rule that checks for the file contents or the page title, that rule will be skipped
when checking non-text files.
¥The Flagged Files report displays a maximum of ten or eleven errors for any particular file.
6[Additional errors are represented with an ellipsis (
). There is currently no workaround to
_this limitation, but we figured that if you
ve got files that break more than ten rules, you
Mprobably got a file that needs to be totally re-written, not just patched up.
`There is a 30K limit to the text that can be checked for in all the rules at once. This normally
6`is not a problem since you will generally be checking for small strings of text. However, if you
`need to check your files to insure that they contain a very long string of characters, you might
^start bumping into the limit. Consider setting up a rule that checks for just the first 15 and
alast 15 characters of the long string instead of checking for the entire string at once. Or check
Syour files in more than one pass, changing the rule settings between each Grinding.

Other Features
Linking wheels together
RAs you work with the Grinder, you will often find yourself using certain wheels in
6Wconjunction. For example, every time you connect some pages with the Sequential Linker,
ll want to create a table of contents with the index builder. The Grinder allows you to link
Wwheels together, so that when one wheel finishes grinding, the next wheel automatically
starts.
¥Linking wheels is easy. Just go to the first wheel you want in the chain, and press the tiny
wheel icon
)JZL"
)KH at the bottom of the window. After a second, a popup menu appears which
6Econtains every other Grinder wheel. Select the wheel you want to run
after
 this wheel. When
64you release the mouse button, the icon changes to a
q" to indicate that a wheel has been
linked.
VYou can create as long a chain as you like just by going to the next wheel and setting
another link with the
)JZL"
> popup menu. Every time you run a wheel, the Grinder will jump
6,automatically to the wheel specified in the
)JZL"
- popup menu and run that wheel automatically.
To clear a link, press the
, icon and select
 from the popup menu.
Saving commonly used settings
VYou can make duplicate copies of any Grinder wheel to save specific wheel settings for
6_future use. Just make your settings, close the wheel, select the wheel in the Finder, and press
RD to duplicate the wheel. Give the new copy a name that will help you remember its
6¥settings. This wheel will save the settings you gave it, so you can use it any time you need
those particular settings.
* 'Editing text documents with the Grinder
ZVersion 3.0 of the HTML Grinder allows you to create and edit standard text documents. Use
6Tthe menu commands in the File menu to create new documents, open existing documents,
Wand save documents. Text documents appear in separate windows and you can edit them the
Zsame way you would in SimpleText or TeachText. You can open and edit files that are 30K or
smaller in the Grinder.

Appendix
Demo Mode and Serial Numbers
WAll the Grinder wheels except the Find and Replace wheel ship in Demo Mode. This allows
6[you to try the wheels out for a few weeks. After that time, the wheels expire and require a
&serial number to continue functioning.
YWhen you open a wheel in Demo Mode, it displays a dialog box that gives you the following
three options:
f`ff0
f`ff0
&`fb1
3132c
>`f>fg
33#0&ba
3132c
    Register.
)0& Click this button if you already have
U-received your serial number. You will then be
4prompted to enter your number. Be sure to type it in
exactly
)%- as you received it. Once you type in a valid
U7serial number, you will not be bothered with the serial
number dialog box again.
Demo Mode.
)EI Click this if you don
t have a serial number yet and you want to try the
UWwheel out in Demo Mode. If you receive a serial number later on, you can type it in the
next time you open this wheel.
Serial # ?
)2I Click this for a little more information about serial numbers and how to
purchase them.
?>When Demo Mode expires on any wheel, your only option will be
    Register.
 If you do not
6Wtype in a valid serial number, the wheel will close and you will not be able to use it.
YEach wheel requires its own serial number. This allows you to purchase serial numbers for
6^only the wheels you want to keep. There is a discount for purchasing all the serial numbers at
once. See
How to Contact Us
)g> on page 2 for more information about ordering serial numbers.

?[Do not open any of the wheels until you are ready to evaluate it. If you open a wheel for a
6Zquick look, then close it and don
t come back to it for a month, you will find that it has
[expired before you even had a chance to review it. Downloading a new wheel will not help
will be expired too.
XWhen you receive your serial numbers, install them right away. They will expire in a few
6(days if you do not use them soon enough.
YBe sure to keep a copy of the serial numbers you receive. You will need them again if you
6_have to reinstall the Grinder, or if you move the Grinder application to a different Macintosh.
* "Registering all the wheels at once
VYou can purchase serial numbers for individual wheels or for the entire Grinder bundle
which entitles you to use
@ the wheels. To install a number for an individual wheel, simply
6Copen the wheel and enter the number in the dialog box that appears.
ZTo register the entire Grinder bundle, open the Grinder application. No window will appear
6Lon your screen but the menubar will change to the Grinder menus. Now choose
Register All
Wheels
)'P from the Tools menu and enter your number into the dialog box that appears. You
6_only need to enter this number in this one place; all the Grinder wheels will be registered and
Lwill open in registered mode after you enter a number for the entire bundle.
ZOf course, you must have a valid bundle number. Don
t try typing a number for an indivdual
6.wheel in the Bundle dialog box. It won
t work.
* *Can
t drag documents onto the Grinder icon
SSome people have problems dragging documents and folders onto the Grinder icon. The
6WGrinder just won
t highlight when another icon is dragged onto it. This usually happens
Eimmediately after downloading and installing the Grinder application.
<If this happens to you, you can solve the problem easily by
rebuilding your desktop file.
6PSimply restart your Macintosh, and hold down the command and option keys on your
Zkeyboard. Keep holding these keys down as your Macintosh restarts until you see the dialog
[box asking if you want to rebuild your desktop file. Now you can release the keys and click
S For the next minute or so, the computer will rebuild the desktop file, and when it
6Nfinishes, you should have no trouble dragging documents onto the Grinder icon.
Comment Tags
UA comment is a bit of text which can be inserted into an HTML document but which does
6@not display when the HTML document is loaded into a Web browser.
QYou can
comment
 any piece of text just by surrounding it with the standard HTML
6Tcomment tags. To insert the phrase
footer
 as a non-displaying comment in your HTML
document, just type it as:
Courier
<!--footer-->
?UYou will be able to see the comment when you open the HTML document in a text editor.
6XBut when the document is loaded into a Web browser, the comment will be ignored and will
not appear.
XYou can use the comment tag to make notes to yourself in your HTML code. Several Grinder
wheels
such as
)b#Replace Tagged Text, Index Builder,
 and
Sequential Linker
also use
6Ccomment tags to embed important information in your HTML documents.
Note:
Q Do not use comments to insert secret information into your HTML documents. While
6Xthe comments do not display in Web browsers, they usually do show up when a user chooses
View Source
 from any of your pages.
