These links to HTML document files accessible elsewhere on
EarthStones' website illustrate some of JDoc's features:
- A
complex HTML page. Our product announcement provides
examples of JDoc's HTML support (including bulleted lists
and hyperlinked text) as well as our HTML+ extensions
(e.g., inserted image with wrapped caption).
- Text flowing around multiple captioned
images. Here text flows precisely around several
images alternately left- and right-justified. Some
browsers have trouble with this, particularly in the case
of right-justified images.
- A text box inserted into text. This
HTML+ extension neatly wraps a text box embedded withing
a paragraph of text. The ruling bars and other features
are optional.
- Large captioned image. Many of the
sections of this site display an image like this randomly
selected from a collection of images.
- Conditional
text. This is the Viewing Tips page from our
Home Page section. If you display it using
different browsers, screen resolutions, and/or computing
platforms, the text will always be customized just for
you! Take a look at the HTML source to see how JDoc's <cond> tag, an HTML+
extension, makes this possible. You will find much more
HTML code there that never makes it to on your
screen.
- A working form. This is a live example
of our Guest Book's Sign form. It communicates
with the CGI Guest Book script (via the POST method) and
returns the script's HTML results to the JDoc viewer. Try
entering incomplete data (e.g., omit either your name
or comments) and see what happens. And, if you
have not already signed our Guest Book, you may
successfully do so right here by completing the entire
form.
- A simple table. Here is a very simple
(table whose cells are text paragraphs. JDoc does support
images and hyperlinked images in tables as well. Tables
are the veritable (no pun) workhorse of HTML on the
Internet because they alone among standard HTML features
allow some degree of control over the placement of page
elements. They are used only rarely on EarthStones' site,
however, because our main objective from the start has
been to develop desk-top publishing type elements which
offer the page designer more functionality and
convenience.
- This
HTML page. Take a look at the current browser page
using JDoc itself. JDoc does not currently interpret the <applet> tag itself,
so you will not see the JDoc viewer inside the
JDoc viewer. But we are working on that too! In the
meantime, you can take a peek at the HTML source for this
page by clicking on the Show
HTML button.
