An HTML editor for the Amiga

New in WebPlug

Important note:

Registered users of WebPlug received some tome ago a mail asking them if they'd like me to port WebPlug to ClassAct. After some (nice ;) discussions with some of them, I've decided that WebPlug will remain MUI-based.

Important note 2:

My email address has changed. Now is stv@minorisa.es
My HP will change in a near future. Stay tuned :-).

Bugs killed:

• WebPlug does not complain when no font for the editor is specified.
• When you didn't specify the Name field of the Textarea form, the incorrect window was opened (Text instead of Textarea)

• WebPlug now requires AmigaDOS v37+. V36 is no longer supported, as a couple of v37+ only functions are used. Very probably, the next release will require AmigaDOS v39+ (3.0+)
• Text-insertion has been sped up for some options (just try to insert a full HTML header, with author information. Table generation does benefit from this speed improvement, but it's still slow. This will change in a newer release).
• Drag'n'drop support for most listviews. Styles, Formats, Lists, Tables, Forms CustomTags and CustomStrings listviews supports Drag'n'Drop. The effect of dragging an entry of these lists into the textfield is the same as pressing 'Insert'. That's why you can remove this button using a new prefs entry (GUI); this way, you'll gain some space for the listviews.
  
• Custom-tag list: Now you (the user :-) can define an unlimited number of "custom tags", and use them in WebPlug. The list of tags can be loaded and saved.
  You can define anything, from an unsupported tag (like <HR WIDTH="20%">) from a tag that you use very often.
  Custom tags greatly expands WebPlug's capabilities.As an example, supplied with WebPlug 1.2 you will find a Custom-tag list to create Amigaguides, and another with the (yet unimplemented) Frames....
• A user-defined custom-tag file can be opened at startup.
• The load, include and save as functions have been splitted into Load HTML or Load Text, Include HTML / Text and Save as HTML / Text. The only difference is the wildcard in the requester (future versions will include a clever 'Include HTML' function).
  This is usefull if you plan to use WebPlug as an AmigaGuide editor, for example...
• Custom-string list: It shares window and interface with the Custom-tag list. This list can contain any string, and you can drag and drop its' entries into any string of the program.
  It may include 'mailto:', an email address, or whatever you want.
  The list can of course be loaded and saved.
• A user defined string-list file can be opened at startup
• The image-buttons are smaller (removed the empty line around them), and some other minor stethic changes
  
• WebPlug's main window is now an AppWindow. If you have WebPlug opened in the Workbench screen, just drop an icon of an HTML file in the window, and it will be automagically opened as the current document,
  
• WebPlug uses its' icon when the user iconify it.
• All the string-gadgets have the AdvanceOnCR flag set, i.e., they behave as if you pressed TAB when you press Return.
• New BrowserLink for Multiview. This is specially usefull when you use WebPlug to create AmigaGuides.
  If an HTML datatype is ever released, you'll be able to use it, of course :-)
• New BrowserLink for Voyager. Voyager (© Oliver Wagner) does not feature a full ARexx port (it only supports the commands provided by MUI directly), so you'll not be able to 'Send' or 'Reload' pages. You will be able to load the browser from WebPlug, iconify it and quit it when quitting WebPlug.
• The translation function now supports more ISO-chars (thanks to Ole Aamot).
• New 'Arguments' prefs. You can specify here the arguments for the browser when running it. This is usefull (necessary) for MultiView, as it need something to load when you run it for the first time (so, you can load, for example S:StartUp-sequence).
• You can select the block of text between the locations 1 and 2. Usefull to select a large block of text.
• New Find function. WebPlug now features a (rather simple) Find function. Is case insensitive.
  This function was not planned by v1.2, but anyway here it is. It will be greatly improved in the next release.
• The textfield.gadget remains active after inserting a text.
• New HTML tags: Comments (<!-- -->, with cut and paste support. You can use it to hide a part of a HTML doc), <MENU>, <LH> and <DIR>.
