New Features

Most of the new features are covered under specific topics. More generally:

• This editor is a standalone application and does not require HyperCard to run. It's larger than a stack, as it includes the HyperCard engine. The advantage is that HyperCard 2.2 is not required to use it. Since we're still operating in the HyperCard environment, I've added a stack compaction feature, also located on the Preferences card.

• This version sports an Index card, with functions for saving and deleting multiple documents.

• The Editor Window is now sizeable up to 640 by 640 pixels.

• Each document is now divided into a Header, Body, and Footer section. This is designed to help you create a more standardized interface for your projects, and also allows for documents larger than 30K characters.

• This version allows a selection of text fonts and sizes, selected from the Preferences card.

• Another new option is automatic display of the Tool Palette upon entering the Editor window.

•  <P> paragraph codes are entered by typing Option-Return. This is an option set under Preferences.

•  This version attempts to follow CERN guidelines for HTML documents.
