From Datamation@mindlink.net Tue Apr 18 11:44:40 1995 Article: 27473 of comp.infosystems.www.misc From: Datamation@mindlink.net (Andrew Hargreaves) Subject: Paradox 5.0 HTML authoring tool Date: Mon, 17 Apr 1995 03:12:06 Organization: Datamation Systems I have created my own little utility with Paradox for Windows to create HTML files because of limitations with the tools I have tried so far. First of all, the HTML tags are in a database table with a usage name, starting and ending tags, example and extended descriptions. As new extensions are introduced you can simply add them to the table. There is also database tables for all your background tiles, bullet gifs, and other gifs created and used by your pages (such as logos). As well, you can store any URL's used in a table, then pick them from the drop down edit list. This saves having to find and type them in if they are to be used by several pages. I am implementing toolbar that allows you to open pop up menus to select the type of horizontal rule, bullet gif, and tiles. The only limitation is lack of a WYSIWYG envrionment to create the pages but it is easy to run Mosaic or Netscape concurrently to see your changes. The big advantages for me however, is an efficient way to organize all my gifs, background tiles, images, html files, URL's etc. Anyway, if there are any Paradox for Windows users out there who are interested in a copy please contact me through email. I am making some improvements and the much improved version will be available in about a week. Thanks, Andrew Datamation@mindlink.bc.ca
