Welcome to Panorama PRO
SoftQuad
Panorama PRO is the commercial version of Panorama, the first SGML
browser for the World Wide Web. It is full-featured, fully-supported and
comes with numerous features that offer users broader presentation
capabilities, more powerful context-sensitive searching and enhanced
hypertext linking capabilities. Panorama PRO allows publishers to
create SGML documents and users to view SGML documents on the Web. It
also provides users with greater control over the display of documents,
giving them the power to create multiple personal link layers,
annotations and bookmarks.
Rich Presentation Capabilities
- Style sheets
- Panorama's style sheets provide you with a great deal of control
over the display of any document. While the free version of Panorama
limits you to only viewing style sheets created by the publisher, the
PRO version allows publishers and users to add or create any number of
style sheets, each with its own name. Style sheets give you control over
display attributes such as font, size, weight, colour, indents, spacing
and automatic numbering.
- Navigators
- Navigators display a document's table of contents interactively.
Clicking on an item in the navigator displays the corresponding section
of the document, making it very easy to browse through longer documents.
Panorama PRO allows you to create and edit navigators that can display
your table of contents as, for example, hierarchical text, a list of
emphasized words, a table or even a list of figures.
- Powerful Math and Table Support
- Panorama and Panorama PRO allow you to incorporate math and tables
directly into your document. Both simple and complex tables are
supported.
- Flexible Graphic Support
- Panorama and Panorama PRO provide full support for inline graphics
and allow you to incorporate them directly in your document. GIF, BMP
and WMF graphics can be displayed inline or referenced by an icon. You
can also easily zoom and pan graphics, and set up links between text and
a graphic as easily as between two pieces of text.
Powerful
Searching Capabilities
- Document Searches
- Panorama PRO provides you with powerful searching capabilities. You
can search an entire document or restrict your area of search by SGML
element.
- Occurrence-Density Display
- Panorama's occurrence density display bar looks like a normal
scrollbar but displays a thin horizontal line marking each location of a
found string. The more lines shown in one location, the greater the
concentration of matches in that section of the document. You can click
on a mark to automatically scroll to that specific location.
- Context-Sensitive Display
- Panorama also allows you to restrict the area of search within a
document by SGML element. For instance, you could search for the word
SGML as it occurs within headings.
Enhanced
Hypertext Linking Capabilities
- Personal Link Layers
- Panorama PRO's personal link layers let you add valuable notes or
commentary to a document. You can create annotations, bookmarks and
links, all of which add value to a document. Notes, for example, can be
shared by several readers, or be hidden from their view. This can be
handy in a case where several readers are reviewing the same document.
- Annotations
- A user can put annotations on any section of text in a document.
The next reader can then access them when reading that particular
section of the document. This feature is also handy to use for
footnotes.
- Bookmarks
- Panorama PRO also allows you to add bookmarks to documents you are
viewing to mark portions of text for future reference. Simply select the
section of text you want to mark and give it a descriptive name. When
you want to reference that text, select from a list of all the bookmarks
you have created.
- Links
- Set up links within a document, or between documents, to cross
reference information. Links can be text-to-text, text-to-graphic, or
even graphic-to-graphic. With Panorama PRO, you can also include "hot
spot" links within graphics. These links allow you to connect a specific
part of a graphic to text, or to another graphic.
- HyTime-conforming SGML
- Panorama PRO's personal link layers are saved as HyTime-conforming
SGML. Annotations are saved as a document with HyTime links pointing to
where the annotation was originally made. And you can search the text of
the linked document just as you would search any other document.
