MTX - Adding High Level Components to HTML Documents

MTX is a simplified means for creating HyperText Markup Language (HTML) documents. HTML is the page layout standard used by the World Wide Web. Unlike HTML, the MTX format is easy to learn and use. You can use any word processor or text editor to create MTX formatted files. The MTX Tool converts these files into HTML pages in a matter of seconds. Features of the MTX system include:

• Source files are easy to create and maintain
• No special editor or editing skills are needed
• Stylistic and functional elements are consistent across all documents
• Repetative and complex tasks are automated
• Many high level functional components are available

This presentation will focus on high level components provided by MTX. A high level component is defined as a complex functional or stylistic element not found in the HTML language itself, but built from HTML primatives.
