WYSIWYG Editor
Creating topics or pages is totally visual in the HyperText Studio's
WYSIWYG editor. What you see in the editor is what you get when you view
your completed content.
On-the-fly spell checking helps to ensure that all your work is free
of spelling errors by providing a red wavy underline to indicate a word
is misspelt.
Visual drag and drop editing makes it easy to design topics and insert
links. Multiple topic windows can be opened at the same time and
creating links is as simple as drag and drop!
Advanced HTML features such as tables-within-tables, absolute positioning,
cascading style sheets and forms are fully supported by the HyperText
Studio.
HyperText Studio's unique predictive linking feature saves huge amounts
of time by automatically selecting the most likely topic you wish to
link to.
To complete your project extensive search and replace and spell checking
features allow you to check not just one page - but the whole project!

WYSIWYG expanding regions
View a video of this feature
|
| Many website and help files now include areas of a page
that expand when you click a link. Creating these expanding regions has
been very difficult and required a knowledge of scripting. However, in
HyperText Studio 5.0 this all changes. Our new expanding regions feature
gives you totally WYSIWYG editing of these regions, meaning no more guesswork
about how your page is going to look.
In addition, the HyperText Studio allows you to specify an icon to
be associated with your link, giving the viewers of your page a clear
indication of the open or closed status of your drop-down region.

| Rollovers |
|
|
| Creating graphic rollovers, where a graphic
changes in a web page as you move over it is now very simple with the
HyperText Studio. Simply insert your graphic and then use the rollover
property page to select the graphic to display when the mouse moves over
your graphic and the HyperText Studio does the rest! |

|
| Topic Styles |
|
|
| Using topic styles, you can define content
that can be used as the basis of other pages within a project. When using
a topic style, authors can add content to only specific areas of a page,
leaving common elements, such as navigation bars the same on all pages.
Changing the original style will then change all pages that use the style! |

|
| HTML Code Editor |
|
|
| The color-coded HTML source code editing technology
in the HyperText Studio takes editing your code to a new level.
The attributes of each supported tag can easily be edited through the
properties box interface.
In addition, as you add tags or attributes into the editor the HyperText
Studio will help you by providing drop-down lists to help with your selection!
On-the-fly spell checking within the HTML source code editor makes it
easy to ensure your topics are free of spelling errors!
You can customize the colors used within the HTML source code editor
to make the editor work the way you want it to.

| Clean Up HTML Code |
|
|
| Over time code can become more messy, so the
HyperText Studio makes it easy to reformat your code in a consistent
manner at the click of a button!
In addition, you can clean existing content that comes in from Microsoft
Word, removing undesired HTML markup. You can even define your own clean
rules to add/remove or edit your own tags and attributes!

|
| Cascading Style Sheets
Editor |
|
|
| Full support is available for the creation
and management of styles based on the Cascading Style Sheets 2 specification,
allowing you to more easily create and manage styles! The HyperText
Studio 3.0 included CSS support, and Version 4.0 expands this by allowing
you to redefine any tag and supports many more CSS attributes, including
support for different media types.
The new CSS editor in the HyperText Studio makes it easy to visually
define style sheets or styles to be included in each topic.
|
|
 |
| In addition, if you wish to create a new style,
you can simply define it in the WYSIWYG editor, type the new name into
the styles drop down and the HyperText Studio will help you to add the
new style to an existing style sheet, a new style sheet or directly into
the page. |
