Globe Webeditor

Globe has been developed by my Hungarian friends Attila Ökrös and RoGer. With the Globe Webeditor they have tried to make an application that is not only for developers, but also for normal endusers that are in the need of publishing on the Internet on their own. No in-depth knowledge of the HTML language should be needed with this application.

Globe supports both HTML and PHP.

http://globe.beos.hu/history_en.html code that was generated by the application, to be shown correctly in the NetPositive browser (also called WYSIWYG). This led to the implementation of previews shown in a preview window. It should be needless to say how useful this feature is in web development. In the beginning they had problems closing the preview window. They have not stopped with implementations of the html-codes that NetPositive supports, but have also included codes specific for Netscape and Internet Explorer.

Auto Complete of HTML Tags
After starting the program opens an empty document named "noname". The built in automatic help system is ready to help you to select appropriate code elements by showing a list depending on the statement you have typed.

If you write an HTML starting element "<", a list will appear with HTML tags from which you can select the HTML element you need. The program will insert the selected element at the current cursor position.

The list always adjusts itself to the current situation. So it shows the proper HTML tag list, or the list of options that can be added to a current statement or for some certain options the "fixed" parameters. You can select from lists by pushing the Enter key or double clicking with the mouse and the selected parameter, element or value will be inserted at the cursor position. You can move in the list by means of Up and Down keys.

If you have inserted an HTML element and you want to specify additional options you should place the cursor between the name of the HTML element and the > sign, then hit a Space key once. As a result you will see the options that pertain to the current statement. If you insert an option that has fixed values the Globe will make them visible for you immediately to make your work more easier.

Naturally that function will not prevent you from inserting other desired options or values that a list does not offer. We strove to provide the most frequently used options in the lists. In the situations when you do not need the list just hit the "Left" key and the list will disappear.

We think it is a useful feature of our program but it cannot be able to institute the knowledge needed to write an HTML code.

Filename Monitor
During coding HTML you may get in a situation when more file need to be opened and edited at a time. You can open more than one file in Globe simultaneously. In that case you can see the names of the opened files at the bottom of edit window on the Filename monitor stripe. The name of the current file being in the edit window appears in bold letters. If you want to switch between the files just click on the desired filename and you will see it in the edit window.
