HTML Import Wizard: Wizard for importing HTML to WebHub Syntax Stage 1

This FREE wizard will import HTML files that you create with any HTML editing tool, and convert them to WebHub-HTML format, Syntax Stage 1. It optimizes files that were created with FrontPage and Net Objects Fusion.

The installer for the wizard (inHtmWiz.EXE) is available to WebHub customers on FTP. Look for the folder named HTMLtoWHTMLWizard. If you do not have access, contact Customer Service.

If you are interested in converting HTML to WebHub Syntax Stage 2, please let us know. If there is interest, we can update the wizard.

Many thanks to Christian Bohn for creating this wizard; last update in August 1999.

Release Notes

WHTML Wizard "README" File
--------------------------

This wizard is FREE for all WebHub developers (registered and trial versions).
It converts standard HTML files to WebHub HTML format ("W-HTML").

To use the resulting W-HTML files you will need to have a WebHub application 
server, such as aserver.exe, source to which is included with the WebHub 
components. A precompiled version of aserver.exe is available for FREE download 
from http://demos.href.com/download/.  Use the exe-reg/ subdirectory if you 
are a registered user, or the exe-try/ subdirectory if you are a trial user.

INSTALLATION
Install anywhere.  The wizard consists of 1 EXE file.  When it runs it will 
create an INI file in the same directory to store its own settings.

USAGE
The wizard will provide instructions as you go along, so just run it and 
read the screens!

EXAMPLE HTML TO IMPORT
The egHTML subdirectory contains a few sample HTML files that you can 
use for testing the wizard.

DEFRONTPAGEIZE FEATURE
One of the checkboxes within the wizard is for "defrontpageizing" your code. 
This is a feature intended for Microsoft FrontPage users. Here is a description 
of what it does:

The wizard runs though the HTML and if it finds an "endfont" tag and a font 
tag without text in between, it will merge these two sets to simplify the 
HTML. HTML tags and white space are allowed in between. This applies only 
if the font tags are equal.  It also optimizes for the cases where a font tag 
and an endfont tag are found inside another pair of font/endfont tags.
