HTML Author
Instead of sending
information to a few people with Applixware Mail,
you may wish to publish it for many people. One way of doing that in
the Internet age is to convert it to HTML, and put it on a web
server. While some of the Applixware Office tools can save to HTML
format, Applixware HTML Author is the tool Applixware Office provides
for writing HTML. For the most part, it works like Applixware Words, though customized for working with
HTML. Some of these customizations include extensions, as opposed to changes made with
Applixware Preferences. I generally
dislike WYSIWYG HTML authoring tools, as what you get may not be what
your readers get, and I prefer to remain aware of that. With that in
mind, HTML Author seems to do an acceptable job. I would not recommend
it for extensive web work, but it should work quite well for
converting a document prepared with the other Applixware office tools
for presentation on the web.
