This option will take the first line of your text file and make it the title of the HTML document. If you do not use this option, your HTML file will have no title. In the final version, there will be additional options like using the file name for the title. Note that if you use this option, the first line of your file will still remain in the HTML form and will also be the title. ĽUse first line as <H1> This option will take the first line of your text file and make it an <H1> header for the file. The line will not be repeated and this option may be used with the above option. ĽCenter <H1> This option is only used with the above option. It centers the <H1> described above. If the above option is not used, this option is ignored. ĽEnd lines with <BR> This option will terminate every line with the <BR> flag. Personally, I would almost never do this. One of the reasons I wrote HTML Markup was because the converter that I used to use would do this and it pissed me off. Still, I can see why some people would want to terminate every line so I made it an option. ĽConvert lists to <UL>'s Right now, I'd recommend this option only if you're sure the text file has a list in it. Otherwise, Markup will think that any hyphenated word is part of a list! Markup looks for -'s and Ľ's and converts items listed much like this list of options into <UL> lists. In the final version, Markup will be smarter and will leave hyphenated words alone. Until then, you may have to go in and change your file if you use this option and you have hyphenated words. The registered version will also have options to control colors, headers, footers, titles, comments, and other aspects of HTML design. The third beta version works pretty well. I fixed two nasty bugs (one caused output to be "weird", the other caused words to be linked together), a whole bunch of minor ones, and adjusted some memory allocation issues. As far as actual conversion goes, that part isn't completely done yet either. The essentials are there and most pages will convert fine. Symbols like %, $, <, >, Š, and ¨ get converted automatically, but I haven't implemented every symbol (yet). Please send me your comments and ideas! If you want to register now (even though it's still in beta stages) and guarantee yourself a registered copy of the release version, it's just ten bucks. Send your check for $10 to: Scott J.

HTML Markup 1.0§3 (c)1995, by Scott J. Kleper Released on 6-3-95 --------------------------- HTML Markup is a drag-and-drop Macintosh text->html converter. There are many programs that seem to accomplish similar tasks. However, HTML Markup takes a slightly different approach to the conversion. When you drag a file or files onto the HTML Markup icon, you are presented with a "job ticket" that allows you to check off your conversion options. The final version of HTML Markup will have a few more options than this version. The options currently available are: ĽUse first line as This option will take the first line of your text file and make it the title of the HTML document. If you do not use this option, your HTML file will have no title. In the final version, there will be additional options like using the file name for the title.
