A--HyperText Markup Language (HTML) is not a programming language. It's more properly described as a markup language, or a page-description language. What it does is allow you to create pages of text, images and other elements, that can be viewed using a software application called a browser. Using HTML, you can create pages of text with various types of formatting, similar to that created with a word processor.

The first set of documents has been made available in PDF because that was simplest way to present the information. We are exploring different display formats and the benefits and problems involved. With HTML, for example, there are formatting/display problems with math that need to be addressed systematically over a wide range of documents.

The software to mark up AustLII's databases was written by Andrew Mowbray. It is the result of a number of years of development. The heuristic rules that it embodies continue to be refined to deal with the nuances of the various databases available via AustLII. A version of the markup scripts called UserMark is available to give users access to the markup technology.

Hypertext, a word invented by Ted Nelson that has now become shopworn from overuse, simply designates a collection of digitized documents, connected by links, more or less structured, and equipped with a navigational interface. The greater the structure, the more it resembles a database; the less the structure, the more it resembles chaos.

Not currently, no. It's on the to-do list (details here), and hopefully will be part of the reStructuredText parser soon. At that time, markup like this will become possible: Here is some *emphasized text containing a 'hyperlink'_ and ''inline literals''*. Inline markup can be combined with hyperlinks using substitution definitions and references with the "replace" directive. For example: Here is an |emphasized hyperlink|_. .. |emphasized hyperlink| replace:: *emphasized hyperlink* .

Yes, Penix's "lsl2html" tool converts an LSL input file to HTML, so it can be browsed over the net. It can be found at the following URL. http://www.ece.uc.edu/~kbse/lsl2html/ Unfortunately, Penix's tool has a few problems that have never been fixed. Instead, you might want to use Leavens's tool "lcpp2html", which is available from the following URL. http://www.cs.iastate.edu/~leavens/lcpp2html.html

Hypertext is a kind of writing. While most writing is typically presented in a sequence (e.g., in a book, the second page always comes directly after the first), hypertext uses links to create multiple paths through a document. A link is a computational object which permits readers to actuate sequences of text using a pointing device such a mouse. In simple hypertexts, clicking a link may be just like turning a page.

Some Eastgate hypertexts are published on CD, while others are published on floppy disk. Each hypertext comes with installation and reading instructions. Simply insert the disk into your computer, and follow the instructions.

Then you can use "Edit >Paste page from..." to insert the logo anywhere you want. You might also use Headersand Footers This can happen for short text, as Hyper Publish tries to use intelligent behavior when you cut & paste. Sometimes the behavior is not exactly as you might expect.

Yes, the extensible markup language (XML) and its related standards are rapidly being taken up and will all be official very soon. Some of those related standards include XLink and XPointer (for linking and related activities) and the synchronized multimedia integration language (SMIL) for synchronized events. Robin Cover has an outstanding index of XML material. The XML Resource Guide at XML.com is also quite good.

The name "wicket" was at first selected simply because it was unique, memorable and easy to say... and yet not used by a serious software project (the owner of the "dodgy IRC bot" called "wicket" which shows up in a Google search was kind enough to give his blessings to me via email to use the name).

Not at all : RefleX is a general-purpose environment that can perform programs made with tags. Several libraries are already available in RefleX, but it's possible to plug any user-defined library. Moreover, user-defined tags can be defined thanks to other tags (a kind of "macro-tags"). Unlike many similar technologies, several libraries of tags can run together within the same RefleX engine.

The prices you see online are at "cost" as explained above. Obviously we can not sell groceries to anyone at cost and continue to stay in business, so our member customers pay 15% over cost for online purchases. If you click on the cost figure for an item, you should see the final price (before sales tax). If you buy that same item in one of our stores, you would pay an additional 15% (the "store markup") plus the base member markup.

The HTTP is a protocol used for the transfer of WWW (World Wide Web) documents, a distributed information system, based on hypertext, created in the beginnings of the nineties by Tim Berners Lee, investigator in the CERN, Switzerland. The information can be of any format (text, image, audio, video) and it is easily accessible by the users thank to the web browsers.

If you're in the airline business one link from Virgin is worth a lot more than many links from your neighbour's son's metal band site. Both of these are external links (absolute links) Also consider internal links (relative) between pages within your site. One of my subcontracting web developers had a link to a florist's page about wreaths. Instead of a search engine loving file name such as wreaths.htm the web page was, for this ecommerce site, named category2_1.
