Thank you for reviewing WebLord!
WebLord is a concept far more advanced than mere HTML editors; it is a
simple language that recursively constructs pages from patterns. The
easiest(?) way to describe WebLord is as a "web site compiler."
Please read (perhaps print out) this README file, as it contains
instructions to help get a small feel for what WebLord can do. Nothing,
however, can replace your active experimentation and careful attention to
the software's documentation!
WebLord does not currently have a graphic user interface (GUI), but this
addition is in the design phases and hoped to be available in early 1998.
Please do not let the plain appearance of WebLord deter you from giving
the software a workout: Your favorite text editor and the documentation
in your favorite HTML (Web) browser is all that you will require to
explore WebLord's unique concepts.
INSTALLATION
WebLord requires no special installation process, so no Installer has
been included. Simply extract the archive whereever you wish the software
to reside and start using it! If you later wish to move it, just copy
the entire directory.
LEARNING TO USE WEBLORD
WebLord offers an enormous amount of power. If you will NOT read the
documentation you are NOT doing yourself a favor. To learn of what
WebLord is capable, you must study the documentation. No programming is
required, but some skill in that field will certainly be helpful.
You need to know at least something about HTML. This is less difficult
than you may think, and a brief section on HTML has been included in the
documentation to get you started, just in case that you are new to the
World Wide Web.
WHERE TO START?
There is a file 'Starter.wl' in WebLord's directory. Process ("compile")
this file in the following way:
From the Workbench: double-click on the 'WebLordDemo' icon. This has
been setup to process the 'Starter.wl' file.
From the CLI: execute the command "WebLordDemo Starter.wl"
Four files will be written to the current directory. Starter1a.html,
Starter1b.html, Starter2.html, and the file Demo.html. This last file,
Demo.html, already has an icon setup for you on the Workbench, so you can
view the file. It contains links to the other three files.
For more information about WebLord, please read the documentation and/or

Cheers!
