Authoring of WWW materials

  • Approaches to authoring of static WWW materials:

    • Writing the document in a markup language

      • HTML - low level and non-extensible

      • XML - requires subsequent transformations or specification of the document rendering

    • Using a visual tool - s structure editor on top of the markup language

      • Good for low skill users

      • Difficult to manage large and complex materials

    • Transforming the document from another format

      • Will often result in a WWW edition of a paper document

      • Difficult to make effective use of the WWW's hypertext potentials

    • Writing the document in a programming language

      • Potentially good for users with programming skills
