Typesetting the Web

Article Abstract:

Increasingly sophisticated tools are available for achieving typographical control in Web pages, but they are not always compatible with browser software. HTML 2.0 offers the least amount of manipulation but is universally readable. Adobe and Microsoft's new OpenType specification will augment the improvements made in HTML 3.0 and 3.2 by allowing viewers to see the type designated by the Web-page designer. Portable document technology translates documents into PDF or EVY files, but those files can only be seen with plug-in or helper applications. Both Adobe and Bitstream are developing software to make PDF and EVY files easier to download. While Java and ActiveX eliminate the need for plug-in or helper applications, those technologies cannot be ready solutions for Web-page designers until more applications are developed to be viewed within browsers.

Coding required here: Powertext formatter

Article Abstract:

The Powertext Formatter from Beaman Porter Inc is a $149.95 text formatting program designed for simple word processors. The program allows the user to add graphics and formatting to documents, but the product lacks the necessary functionality for general use. The program requires 256Kbytes and DOS 2.0 or later. Epson and Diablo and other dot matrix printers are supported; so are Hewlett-Packard Laserjet, Laserjet Plus, and Series II printers. The package's predefined global formats are useful if used without modification.
