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.
