Re: Need Ideas -Reply
Just as an example of how useful this could be, I have been trying to
make time to work on something like this. Our intranet is used for
process access, and the maintenance overhead associated with Word
files is too much, not to mention that those of us with Unix boxes can't
see the processes. Decisions have been made to convert all existing
processes to HTML, but the *biggest* problem I currently face is that a
number of my site users are complaining that they will lose Word's
revision capabilities. Therefore a *basic* HTML editor that can handle
tables and images and that included revision markup (lined-out deleted
text/different colors for new text based on recentness (??) of revision)
would be quite useful.
Peace,

OK: using Jiri's font.e package, write an include file to
display <HTML> code. There are lots of uses for such a utility,
so make it a function callable from within our programs.
It would be useful for displaying help files, as a simple
local browser, or even as a front-end for other programs.
After all, there are a lot of programs that would work fine
and look nicer with a simple "form" capability such as you
see on the web every day.
I suggest as a minimum:
<H1>..<H6> and standard fonts
color hilighted links (your function would return the name of the link)
<code> or <pre> for program listing type layout, otherwise
text wraps automatically.
<form> with input fields for text entry and some buttons
<IMG SRC> to include graphics (a must!)
<BACKGROUND> to liven up things.
