SIMPLYHTML(1) General Commands Manual SIMPLYHTML(1)
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 functional-
ity and usage as possible. The application is written in Java and dis-
tributed 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 com-
ments. 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 Java-
Help 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
available too.
Why another HTML editor?
SimplyHTML is not an HTML editor in first place. It is a text process-
ing 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 combin-
ing simplicity, ease of use and transparency for both users and devel-
opers.
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 com-
mand).
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, sim-
plyhtml exits with an error.
