WebWriter/2's Multithreaded design allows you to open and edit multiple
documents at once. Full support of HTML 2.0, including non-English characters,
is provided. In addition WebWriter/2 also supports most of the HTML 3.0

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2. Using WebWriter/2 ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

WebWriter/2 allows you to create HTML documents from scratch or to markup
existing text documents.  Full support is provided for the creation of HTML
version 2.0 documents  as well as supporting many HTML 3.0 features.  It also
includes the capability for the user to define tags which are not currently
supported, allowing users to include tags from more recent HTML specifications
or to define customized versions of existing tags.  Full support is also
provided for the ISO-Latin-1 character set through menu options and the
Character manager dialog.  You can edit multiple documents at once as well as
preview your documents using the WWW client of your choice. At least some
knowledge of HTML is assumed and no syntax checking of documents is performed.

For information on a specific topic select one of the following:

     Inserting HTML tags

     Inserting HTML attributes

     Inserting character entities

     Editing multiple documents

     Previewing documents

     WebExplorer viewer for HTML source

     HTML information


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.1. Inserting HTML tags ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

To insert HTML tags, select the desired tag from the Tags menu.  Tags which
have additonal or optional elements may present the user with a dialog
prompting for the necessary information.  You can select tags and  markup your
text as you write it or you can first create the content for your HTML document
and then focus on its presentation.

Prompting for some HTML elements is optional. This is indicated by a [...]
following the menu item text. You will be prompted for these items only when
you hold down the Ctrl key while selecting the item. This allows you to work
more quickly by bypassing the dialogs most of the time, yet, still providing
access to prompting when you request it.

Additional tags may be defined and inserted using the Tag manager dialog.  The
Tag manager dialog can be displayed by selecting the Tags/More tags... menu
option.

When inserting HTML tags, selected text will be wrapped by the tag if it is two
sided.  One sided tags are inserted before selected text.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.2. Inserting HTML attributes ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

To insert HTML attributes, select the desired attributes from the Attributes
menu. Attributes which have additional or optional elements may present the
user with a dialog prompting for the necessary information.  By providing
support for HTML attributes separate from their associated tags, WebWriter/2
allows you the flexibility of being able to easily modify your documents
formatting without having to resort to either typing the attributes in manually
or having to first delete then reapply tags in order to change their
attributes.

Prompting for some HTML attributes is optional. This is indicated by a [...]
following the menu item text. You will be prompted for these items only when
you hold down the Ctrl key while selecting the item. This allows you to work
more quickly by bypassing the dialogs most of the time, yet, still providing
access to prompting when you request it.

HTML attributes are inserted before selected text.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.3. Inserting character entities ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

Character entities from the ISO-Latin-1 character set can be inserted by
selecting the desired character entity or character accent from the Characters
menu.  Additional character entities are available in the Character manager
dialog.  The Character manager dialog can be accessed by selecting the
Characters/More characters... menu option.

Character entities are inserted before selected text.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.4. Editing multiple documents ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

WebWriter/2 uses a MSDI (Multiple Single Document Interface) method of editing
multiple documents.  You can open as many WebWriter/2 windows as you want as
long as you can keep track of what you are doing.  To open another WebWriter/2
window, select Windows/New window.

To help manage your open documents you can display the WebWriter/2 Window
manager.  You can do this by selecting Windows/Window manager or by selecting
it from the OS/2 window list.  You can manage the open Edit windows by
selecting options from the Window manager Windows menu or from the Window
manager context menu.

You can copy and paste selected text or entire documents from one Edit window
to another by simply dragging from the source to the target window.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.5. Previewing documents ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

WebWriter/2 allows you to preview your HTML documents in the WWW client of your
choice.  The preview function will start the preview application you have
selected and load the current document.  If you are using the IBM WebExplorer
or Netscape Navigator as your preview application and there is already a copy
of running, WebWriter/2 will load the document into this already open window
rather than starting a new copy of the program every time.  This will work for
Netscape only if it is configured to run in a WIN-OS/2 window.  If you
configure Netscape to run in a full screen WIN-OS/2, WebWriter/2 will still
start a new copy for each preview.

You can select and configure these applications via the Preview pages of the
WebWriter/2 settings dialog.

The applications that you select are displayed as choices in the File/Preview
submenu.  You can preview the current document by selecting one of these menu
choices. You can also select another preview application on the fly by choosing
File/Preview/Other...

If you use the IBM WebExplorer, you can also preview a document by simply
dragging it to an open WebExplorer window.

WebWriter/2 has been tested with both the IBM WebExplorer (v1.03) and Netscape
Navigator (v2.0b3).


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.6. WebExplorer viewer for HTML source ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

If you use IBM's WebExplorer as your WWW client you can use WebWriter/2 as your
viewer for HTML document source.  To do this...

   1. Choose Configure/Viewers from the WebExplorer menu bar.

   2. Select viewer type Editor for HTML Source.

   3. Specify WebWrite.EXE, including the path to it, as the viewer program.
      You can also select it using the Browse... button.

   4. Click OK to save the setting.

 A faster way to use WebWriter/2 as a viewer for HTML source from WebExplorer
 is to drag the source from WebExplorer to an open WebWriter/2 window or the
 WebWriter/2 Window manager.  To do this...

   1. Hold down the Ctrl key and start dragging from the WebExplorer window.

   2. After WebExplorer finishes preparing the source for dragging position it
      over an open WebWriter/2 edit window or the Window manager.

   3. To open the source using the Window manager simply drop it there.

   4. To open the source in an existing WebWriter/2 edit window:

        a. Release the Ctrl key.

        b. Hold down the Shift key.

        c. Drop the HTML source on the edit window.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.7. HTML information ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

If you are not familiar with HTML you may wish to obtain one of the many books
available on this topic.  Teach Yourself Web Publishing with HTML in a Week by
Laura Lemay ( SAMS Publishing, 1995 ) is a good book for beginners.  Also
available from the same author is Teach Yourself More Web Publishing with HTML
in a Week ( SAMS Publishing, 1995 ).  There are also many WWW sites which
provide up to date HTML documentation and examples.

The WebWriter/2 readme file contains additional information on WWW sites which
maintain information on the HTML specification.  If you have a primary preview
application configured, you can view an HTML version of this file by selecting
Help/WebWriter/2 readme from the Edit window menus. Otherwise, you can view the
readme.txt file located in the WebWriter/2 directory by loading it into any
text editor, including WebWriter/2.

For basic HTML 2.0 information, you can load the html20.htm file included with
WebWriter/2 into your WWW client by selecting Help/HTML 2.0 reference from the
Edit window menus.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.9. Context menu help ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

The WebWriter/2 context menu is user configurable, so the exact menu displayed
depends on this configuration.  You can select any of the Edit window menus to
be your default context menu, including the menu bar itself. If you select the
menu bar as your default, you will be able to access all of the Edit window
menus as pop-ups by selecting the one you want from the menu bar pop-up.  In
addition, you can specify a default menu item for each menu when it appears as
a pop-up.  When you set an item as the default the cursor will be positioned
over that item when the menu is displayed.  You can use this feature to
position the cursor over the item you use most frequently or position it in the
middle of the menu to optimize access to all the menu items.  If you don't set
a default the menu will be displayed just to the right and above the cursor.

The WebWriter/2 context menus are configured via the Pop-ups settings page of
the WebWriter/2 Settings notebook.

      replaced with the value of the Change to field. If the selected text in
      the Edit window does not match the contents of the Find field, the text
      in the Find field will be searched for.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 5.8.6. Table assistant dialog ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

The Table assistant dialog provides a convenient palette of table elements and
attributes.  When used along with the Generate table dialog, the Table
assistant makes defining HTML tables easy.  You can use the Table assistant to
add rows, headings and data cells, or to specify attributes for individual rows
or cells.  Or, if you prefer, you can use the Table assistant to define tables
from scratch.

When you first open the Table assistant, Row will appear in the spin button
under the Insert button.  As you cycle through the contents of this spin button
you will notice that the available options change depending on the element
selected.  When Insert is clicked the selected element and all of the specified
attributes will be inserted.  Clicking one of the other buttons will insert the
respective attribute using the value specified in the entry field or spin
button below it.  Additonal elements and attributes are displayed when the '+'
button is clicked and can be hidden by clicking the '-' button.  The additional
elements and attributes are specified and inserted in the same manner as
described before.  Take some time to experiment with this dialog and get a feel
for how the dialog controls behave and interact.

The Table assistant dialog contains the following controls:

 Insert
      The action performed when you click on this button is dependent on the
      value displayed in the spin button below it.  When an HTML table element
      is identified that element and any specified attributes will be inserted
      into your document.  The choices available in the spin button are:

      Row
            This value identifies the TR element.

      Heading
            This value identifies the TH element.

      Data
            This value identifies the TD element.

      Attrib.
            When this value is selected only the specified attributes will be
            inserted.

 Cols
      This button and the entry field below it allow you to specify the number
      of columns that a cell will span.  Enter a whole number in the entry
      field and click on this button to insert the COLSPAN attribute or click
      the Insert button to insert the selected element with the COLSPAN
      attribute included.  This option is not available when Row is selected in
      the Insert spin button.

 Rows
      This button and the entry field below it allow you to specify the number
      of rows that a cell will span.  Enter a whole number in the entry field
      and click on this button to insert the ROWSPAN attribute or click the
      Insert button to insert the selected element with the ROWSPAN attribute
      included.  This option is not available when Row is selected in the
      Insert spin button.

 H-Align

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 5.8.7. Generate table dialog ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

The Generate table dialog allows you to quickly produce a formatted table
skeleton.  You may specify many of the tables default attributes as well as the
exact dimensions of the table and the tags required to define the table will be
inserted into your document.  Values of 'Heading' and 'Data' will be inserted
as place holders for the contents of the individual cells.  After the table
skeleton is generated you can replace these place holder values with the
desired cell contents.  The Table assistant dialog can then be used to modify
the tables attributes if you wish to override any of the specified defaults,
add additional rows or columns, or customize the table apearance in any other
way.

 Caption
      Specify a table caption and optionally the position of the caption.

      Text
            Specify the caption text.

      Default position
            When this option is selected the caption position will not be
            explicitly defined.

      Border
            If you wish to define the BORDER attribute for the table, check
            this option and enter a border size in pixels.  If you do not enter
            a border size, then BORDER will be specified without a size which
            will result in the WWW client using its default size for the border
            width (usually 1 pixel).  To suppress the border specify a border
            size of 0.

      Cell spacing

      Width
            Specify the width of the table on the page.  You may select either
            of the following units:

            Percent
                  The width is to be a percentage of the page width.  When
                  specified as a percentage, the actual width of the table will
                  vary depending on the size of the client window in which it
                  is displayed.

            Pixels
                  The width is to be a fixed number of pixels.  When specified
                  in pixels, the width of the table will not vary with the

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 5.9. Tag manager ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

The Tag manager dialog provides the user with an alternate way to select and
insert tags.  The user may also define additional tags as well as modify the
definition or behavior of existing tags.  The tags displayed may be filtered by
HTML version and tag category and sorted according to the options available
from the sort menu.

For more information about Tag manager select one of the following:

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 5.9.1. Using Tag manager ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

Select one of the following:

     Inserting tags with Tag manager

     Defining tags with Tag manager


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 5.9.1.1. Inserting tags with Tag manager ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

Tags can be inserted into the Edit window using the following methods:

     By choosing Insert tag from the Tags menu.

     By choosing Insert tag from the Context menu.

     By double clicking on the Tag template

     By dragging the Tag template to the edit window.

 Usually, tags will insert into and wrap around text in the same manner that
 tags selected from the Edit window menus will (i.e., 2 sided tags wrap
 selected text and 1 sided tags insert before selected text).  If, however, you
 find that a particular tag is not wrapping or inserting the way you would
 like, you may modify the definition of the tag to control the way it is
 inserted using the Tag definition dialog.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 5.9.1.2. Defining tags with Tag manager ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

Tags are added and edited using the Tag definition dialog which can be accessed
using the New tag or Edit tag options of the Tags and Context menus. When
adding or editing tags they must be assigned an HTML version and category which
are then used for sorting and filtering.  You must also specify a tag
description and template. Various options are available for controlling how
tags are inserted into the Edit window and how the inserted tags are formatted.
Usually the tags will insert into and wrap around text in the same manner that
tags selected from the menus will (i.e., 2 sided tags wrap selected text and 1
sided tags insert before selected text).  If, however, you find that a
particular tag is not wrapping or inserting the way you would like, you may
explicitly define the wrap point of the tag.  Explicitly defining the wrap
point can also be useful if you have defined a template which consists of a
combination of several HTML elements. By defining the wrap point you can
control where the cursor will be positioned after the tag elements are
inserted.

Tag templates are limited to 128 characters in length.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 6. Workplace Shell integration ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

WebWriter/2 is designed to interact with the OS/2 Workplace Shell as well as
with other OS/2 applications.

For information about WebWriter/2 Workplace Shell integration select one of the
following:

     Drag & Drop support

     WebWriter/2 associations


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 6.1. Drag & Drop support ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

You can use Drag & Drop shortcuts to perform many WebWriter/2 functions. The
following Drag & Drop operations are supported:

   1. Dropping a data file object onto the WebWriter/2 window will result in an
      action that depends on the drop action requested and the type of file
      dropped.  Different drop actions can be requested by the use of the Ctrl,
      Alt & Shift keys and defaults can be configured via the Drag&Drop
      settings page of the WebWriter/2 Settings notebook. WebWriter/2 attempts
      to follow Workplace Shell conventions as much as possible in implementing
      drag & drop support, although, some variance in meaning was necessary.
      The basic Drag & Drop operations work like this:

      Drop
            Will perform the action indicated by the Default drop action for
            documents setting on the Settings notebook Drag&Drop page.

      Shift+Drop
            This will result in the file which is dropped being opened by the
            Edit window it is dropped on.  If there is a document open with
            unsaved changes, you will be prompted to save or discard those
            changes before the new document is opened.

      Ctrl+Drop
            This will result in the contents of the file which is dropped being
            inserted at the current cursor position.

      Shift+Ctrl+Drop
            This will result in a hypertext link to the dropped document being
            inserted at the cursor position or wrapping selected text, if any.

      Of course, as with any rules there are exceptions:

      WebExplorer URLs
            Dropping a WebExplorer URL will always result in a link to that URL
            being inserted. You can drag & drop WebExplorer URL's which you
            have saved to your Desktop (or some other folder) or, if you are
            viewing a Web page that you want to link to, just drag directly to
            WebWriter/2 and the link will be inserted without having to save
            the URL object first.

      WebBook URL's
            WebBook is an OS/2 URL manager published by Sine Qua Non, Inc.  It
            allows  you to save collections of WebExplorer URL's organized into
            libraries, shelves, books and pages. You can drag URL's from
            WebBook to WebWriter/2 in order to insert hypertext links to the
            resources referenced by those URL's in the same way that you can
            use URL's dragged directly from WebExplorer.

            Dropping a WebBook URL will always result in a link to that URL
            being inserted.

      Images
            Since, you probably don't want WebWriter/2 to open or insert the
            contents of image files into your documents, it seemed to make
            sense to modify the Drag & Drop behavior for these file types.  For
            image files, the following rules apply:

            Drop
                  If the Default drop action for documents is set to Open then
                  the result of this action will be determined by the When
                  'Open' dropping image file... setting on the Settings
                  notebook Drag&Drop page.  Otherwise, the modifier key
                  equivalent (i.e., Ctrl+Drop or Shift+Ctrl+Drop) drop action
                  will be performed.

            Shift+Drop
                  This is determined by the When 'Open' dropping image file...
                  setting on the Settings notebook Drag&Drop page.

            Ctrl+Drop
                  This will result in the Inline image dialog being displayed
                  with the path & file name of the image already filled in.

            Shift+Ctrl+Drop
                  This will result in a hypertext link to the image being
                  inserted at the cursor position or wrapping selected text, if
                  any.

      Note:  When hypertext links are inserted the exact behavior will depend
             on whether or not text is selected when the drop occurs.  If no
             text is selected, the file name (or URL title for WebExplorer
             URL's) will be inserted as the link content.  If there is selected
             text, then the selected text will be used as the link content.

      Note:  In all cases where hypertext links to local files are inserted,
             the links will use relative paths with forward slashes rather than
             back slashes (i.e., '/' and not '\').

      Tip:  If you Ctrl+Drag a document from WebExplorer to WebWriter/2 to view
            the HTML source and want to open it instead of inserting it into
            the open document, release the Ctrl key once the pointer changes to
            the Pointer+MiniFile pointer and hold down the Shift key while you
            drop the HTML source on the WebWriter/2 window.  If you have "Open"
            configured as your default drop option you can omit holding down
            the Shift key. You can also just drag to the Window manager window.

   2. Dropping a data file object onto the WebWriter/2 Window manager will open
      the the file in a new WebWriter/2 window.

   3. Dragging from the edit window to a printer object will print the current
      document.  If there is selected text, only the selected text will be
      printed.

   4. Dragging from the edit window to the Shredder will delete the current
      document.  If there is selected text, only the selected text will be
      deleted.

   5. By dragging from one WebWriter/2 window to another you can copy & paste
      either an entire document or selected text if any.

   6. If you drag from the edit window to the desktop or a folder, a copy of
      the document, or selected text if any, will be saved there.  This can be
      useful if you wish to save sections of a document for re-use in other
      HTML documents.

   7. You can drag from a WebWriter/2 window to a WebExplorer window to preview
      your document or selected text if any.  This is particularly useful if
      you wish to quickly preview changes in a document that you have already
      loaded into WebExplorer via the File/Preview menu options.

   8. From an open WebExplorer window you can drag the curent HTML document to
      an open WebWriter/2 window.  The document will be treated the same as a
      Workplace Shell file object and will inserted into the current document
      if one is open or opened if there is no currently opened document.

      Note:  How you do this depends on the vesion of WebExplorer that you
             have.  Some versions require that you hold down the Ctrl key while
             you drag.  With other versions you simply drag the document from
             WebExplorer.  The version of WebExplorer current as of writing
             this (v1.02) requires that you hold down the Ctrl key while you
             drag a document from WebExplorer.  If you have a different version
             you may need to experiment to determine how this works with it.

   9. Dragging from the Tag manager dialog and dropping on the WebWriter/2
      window will insert the tag at the cursor position.  If text is selected
      in the WebWriter/2 window the tag will be wrapped around the selected
      text.

  10. Dragging from the Character entity dialog and dropping on the WebWriter/2
      window will insert the character entity at the cursor position or before
      selected text.

 If you wish to perform a drag & drop operation that is not listed here, try it
 and see if it works.  The WebWriter/2 <-> WebExplorer type interactions have
 not been tested with but should work with other OS/2 applications which are
 Workplace Shell aware.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 6.2. WebWriter/2 associations ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

The WebWriter/2 installation program creates associations between between
WebWriter/2 and files with .htm & .html extensions.  This allows you to start
WebWriter/2 by double clicking on an HTML document file object.

You may notice that when you open a document in this way it does not remain
cross hatched after the document is open.  This is perfectly normal and does
not mean that the open of the document has failed.

If you do not want files with .htm and .html extensions to be associated with
WebWriter/2 you may remove the association from the Associations page of the
WebWriter/2 program object settings notebook.  Conversely if you would like to
add additional associations (e.g., .ht3 or htm3 for HTML 3.0 documents) these
can also be added to the Associations page of the WebWriter/2 program object
settings notebook.  For information on how to do this refer to the help for the
settings notebook Associations page.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 7. WebWriter/2 Window manager ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

The WebWriter/2 Window manager allows you to keep track of your open
WebWriter/2 edit windows.  The Window manager displays a list of open
WebWriter/2 windows and the documents being edited in each window.  From the
Window manager you can hide, display or close an open edit window.  You can
also open a new edit window or close all of the open windows and exit
WebWriter/2.  When you double click on an HTML document to open it and
WebWriter/2 is already active the document will be opened by the currently
running copy of WebWriter/2 and added to its Window manager. Because of this
there will only be one WebWriter/2 Window manager open at any time. If you are
editting a large number of HTML documents at the same time, the Window manager
can significantly reduce the amount of time it takes you to locate a particular
document.

 Preview save options
      Choose one of the following to indicate the default save option when
      previewing documents.

      Save before preview
            If you select this option, WebWriter/2 will save the document and
            instruct your preview application to load it.

      Don't save before preview
            When this option is selected WebWriter/2 will save your document to
            a temporary file and instruct your preview application to load the
            temporary file.

      Prompt for Save/Don't save
            When this option is selected you will be presented with a dialog
            asking you whether or not to save the document before previewing.
            This is the default

 Preview from...
      Choose one of the following to indicate the location of the temporary
      file created if you opt to not save the file before previewing.

      Document's current directory
            The document will be previewed from the directory in which the
            original document resides.  If the document has not yet been saved,
            it will be previewed from the Default document directory.  If no
            Default document directory is configured or the default document
            directory points to the A or B drives, then the TMP (or TEMP)
            directory will be used.

      Default document directory
            The document will be previewed from the Default document directory.
            If no Default document directory is configured or the default
            document directory points to the A or B drives, then the TMP (or
            TEMP) directory will be used.

      TMP directory (CONFIG.SYS)
            The document will be previewed from the TMP (or TEMP) directory
            defined in your CONFIG.SYS file.  If no TMP directory is defined in
            your CONFIG.SYS, then the WebWriter/2 installation directory will
            be used.

 You may specify up to 2 WWW clients to use for previewing HTML documents on
 the Preview app 1 and Preview app 2 back pages of the Preview page.  The
 specified preview applications will appear in the File/Preview menu.  The
 Preview feature has been tested with the IBM WebExplorer & Netscape Navigator,
 but, should work with other WWW clients which can run under OS/2.  When using
 Netscape or other Windows or DOS WWW clients you must be careful to use only
 path names which are FAT compatible, otherwise, the client will not be able to
 locate your HTML documents.
