HoTMetaL PRO contains an Editor for creating files that can be read by Web browsers (such as Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer) that are connected to the World Wide Web (WWW) or an intranet. The file format for such files is called HTML (Hypertext Markup Language). The main difference between the HoTMetaL PRO Editor and browsers such as Netscape Navigator is that HoTMetaL PRO is used to create and edit files, and browsers are used to retrieve, display, and read files. Any text editor can create an HTML file, but it's much easier in a graphical editor.
This latest version of the Editor offers three different authoring environments: for the novice, the intuitive WYSIWYG view makes it easy to create web sites without any HTML knowledge; for the intermediate user, the Tags On view shows the structure of the HTML markup, but still has authoring assistants to guide the way; and for power professionals, the HTML Source view is an advanced editor for editing code directly.
HoTMetaL PRO also contains an Information Manager component for managing collections of files and links between files. With the HoTMetaL PRO Information Manager, you can:
View the file and link structure of your site.
