- HTML Markup 1.0ß3
- (c)1995, by Scott J. Kleper
- Released on 6-3-95
- ---------------------------
-
- HTML Markup is a drag-and-drop Macintosh text->html converter. There are many
- programs that seem to accomplish similar tasks. However, HTML Markup takes a
- slightly different approach to the conversion.
-
- When you drag a file or files onto the HTML Markup icon, you are presented with
- a "job ticket" that allows you to check off your conversion options. The final
- version of HTML Markup will have a few more options than this version. The
- options currently available are:
-
- •Use first line as <TITLE>
- This option will take the first line of your text file and make it the
- title of the HTML document. If you do not use this option, your HTML file
- will have no title. In the final version, there will be additional options
- like using the file name for the title. Note that if you use this option,
- the first line of your file will still remain in the HTML form and will
- also be the title.
-
- •Use first line as <H1>
- This option will take the first line of your text file and make it an <H1>
- header for the file. The line will not be repeated and this option may
- be used with the above option.
-
- •Center <H1>
- This option is only used with the above option. It centers the <H1>
- described above. If the above option is not used, this option is
- ignored.
-
- •End lines with <BR>
- This option will terminate every line with the <BR> flag. Personally,
- I would almost never do this. One of the reasons I wrote HTML Markup
- was because the converter that I used to use would do this and it
- pissed me off. Still, I can see why some people would want to terminate
- every line so I made it an option.
-
- •Convert lists to <UL>'s
- Right now, I'd recommend this option only if you're sure the text
- file has a list in it. Otherwise, Markup will think that any hyphenated
- word is part of a list! Markup looks for -'s and •'s and converts
- items listed much like this list of options into <UL> lists. In the
- final version, Markup will be smarter and will leave hyphenated words
- alone. Until then, you may have to go in and change your file if you
- use this option and you have hyphenated words.
-
-
- The registered version will also have options to control colors, headers, footers,
- titles, comments, and other aspects of HTML design.
-
- The third beta version works pretty well. I fixed two nasty bugs (one caused
- output to be "weird", the other caused words to be linked together), a whole
- bunch of minor ones, and adjusted some memory allocation issues.
-
- As far as actual conversion goes, that part isn't completely done yet either.
- The essentials are there and most pages will convert fine. Symbols like %, $,
- <, >, ©, and ® get converted automatically, but I haven't implemented every
- symbol (yet).
-
- Please send me your comments and ideas! If you want to register now (even
- though it's still in beta stages) and guarantee yourself a registered copy
- of the release version, it's just ten bucks.
