Ubuntu Manpage: simplyhtml — A Java editor based on HTML and CSS.

NAME

       simplyhtml — A Java editor based on HTML and CSS.

SYNOPSIS

       simplyhtml [no_options]

DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the simplyhtml command.

This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does
not have a manual page. Instead, it has online documentation (see Help menu in
SimplyHTML).

Project Description
With project SimplyHTML an application is built for working with text documents. Text
documents are stored in HTML and CSS format, but the application is meant as a word
processor rather than a code editor or web site builder.

Open to the maximum
SimplyHTML is built with the aim to document as much of its functionality and usage as
possible. The application is written in Java and distributed with full source codes.

By using Java, HTML, CSS and PDF all parts of the project are 100% platform independent
and can be used on almost any machine.

Extensive documentation
Source codes are commented in Javadoc format and additional inline comments. The sources
are created with good legibility and structure in mind.

In addition, an extensive tutorial is delivered covering both usage of the application and
its internals. The tutorial is available in JavaHelp format and can be used as online help
out of SimplyHTML. Or it can be read with a plain web browser. A PDF version of the
tutorial is avalable too.

Why another HTML editor?
SimplyHTML is not an HTML editor in first place. It is a text processing application being
based on HTML and CSS files.

Although it has a simple HTML editor built in as well, the application focuses on text
processing rather than web page creation.

SimplyHTML tries to distinguish from comparable applications by combining simplicity, ease
of use and transparency for both users and developers.

OPTIONS

       This program does not have any option. Just start it!

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       DEBUG     If  this environment variable is set, SimplyHTML gives more information  on  how
                 it finds its different elements, as well as some other information.

       JAVACMD   Default value for the java virtual machine (the java command).

       JAVA_BINDIR
                 If   $JAVACMD   is   not  set,  the  java  virtual  machine  is  searched  under
                 $JAVA_BINDIR/java.

       JAVA_HOME If $JAVACMD and $JAVA_BINDIR are not set, the java virtual machine  is  searched
                 under $JAVA_HOME/bin/java.

       PATH      If  all  $JAVA...  environment  variables fail, the java virtual machine command
                 (java) is searched in the $PATH (with which).

       CLASSPATH        ADD_JARS
                 The $CLASSPATH variable also lets one specify additional jars, which is good, if
                 you   want  to  add  a  new  Look&Feel  jar  (the  motif  one  is  so  ugly...).
                 Alternatively, the content of $ADD_JARS will be prepended to $CLASSPATH.

FILES

       /usr/bin/java
                 If all searches through environment variables fail, the java virtual machine  is
                 expected to be /usr/bin/java; if not, simplyhtml exits with an error.
