Project Description

With project SimplyHTML an application is built for working with text documents. Text documents are stored in HTML and CSS format, but the application is meant as a word processor rather than a code editor or web site builder.

Open to the maximum

SimplyHTML is built with the aim to document as much of its functionality and usage as possible. The application is written in Java and distributed with full source codes.

By using Java, HTML, CSS and PDF all parts of the project are 100% platform independent and can be used on almost any machine.

Extensive documentation

Source codes are commented in Javadoc format and additional inline comments. The sources are created with good legibility and structure in mind.

In addition, an extensive tutorial is delivered covering both usage of the application and its internals. The tutorial is available in JavaHelp format and can be used as online help out of SimplyHTML. Or it can be read with a plain web browser. A PDF version of the tutorial is avalable too.

Why another HTML editor?

SimplyHTML is not an HTML editor in first place. It is a text processing application being based on HTML and CSS files.

Although it has a simple HTML editor built in as well, the application focuses on text processing rather than web page creation.

SimplyHTML tries to distinguish from comparable applications by combining simplicity, ease of use and transparency for both users and developers.

SimplyHTML on SourceForge

I developed SimplyHTML between April 2002 and April 2003 which was when the application reached its final stage from my side (stage 11). In January 2007 the open source community opened a new branch to continue my works and latest enhancements can be found at http://simplyhtml.sourceforge.net/ too.

Current release

Stage 11 has been published on April 27, 2003.
