SimpleHyp is a simple tool for editing HTML web pages, equivalent in functionality to the old favourite 'Notepad', but with the added bonus of context coloured text. HTML tags, comments, strings and symbols are coloured automatically for easy visual identification. (click here to see some screen shots)

To quickly view the effect of edits, SimpleHyp includes a 'browser view' button which automatically loads the saved file into your favourite browser.

For those who wish to pay a low registration fee, a number of advanced functions are also available, such as: context coloured printing; text indenting; and tools for inserting the most common HTML tags and symbols. Otherwise, the basic functionality is available for immediate use and distribution free of charge. (click here to download now)

Other Main Features

Browser View - To view the current file in a web browser, click on the Browser View tool in the toolbar, or choose View-Browser View from the menu. The file will automatically load into your favourite browser. Note that only the last saved version of the file will be viewed. To view any changes, save the file and select Refresh in the browser window.

We recommend use of the free Mozilla Firefox™ browser with either the HTML Validator or Total Validator addons, to check and debug your web pages. However, before final publishing, it is wise to check how your pages look on several different web browsers, due to small differences in the way certain formats are rendered.

Printing - SimpleHyp free version provides editing of content coloured HTML on screen. However, it will only print-out in black and white, as per Notepad. To print the HTML source in colour, the program must be registered. The printing fonts and sizes are fixed. Long lines will not wrap when printing.

LF->CRLF - On Unix based systems, lines end in a line feed only. However, Windows requires a carriage return/line feed pair to denote the end of a line. If a Unix derived HTML page is loaded into SimpleHyp, it will appear to be one very large line, wrapping around every 1024 characters. Use the "LF->CRLF" command in the Edit menu to automatically convert the file. This command is only available if registered.

Copy Text Only - In the Edit menu, the Copy Text command (Ctrl+T), allows the user to copy only the unformatted text from the selection. That is, while the normal Copy command copies everything selected, the Copy Text ignores all HTML tags and formatting and copies only the basic unformatted text. Very useful for extracting just the plain text from any complicated html document. This command is only available if registered.

Inserting Common HTML Tags - A number of the most common, but not all, HTML4 tags have been made available via the Insert menu and the toolbar. In most cases, if a section of text is already selected in the window, then the inserted tags will be wrapped around the selected text. Eg. <P>selected text </P>
The insert commands are only available if the program is registered.

Text Indent - Text indenting commands are available via the Edit menu, and on the toolbar. These will tab-indent, or un-indent the selected lines, as appropriate. Such formatting can be used to make HTML source more readable for humans, but is ignored by web browsers. Tab-stops are fixed at every 8 characters.

Limitations

Undo - As with Notepad, only one level of undo is available. If you have made more than one change, then you can only undo the last one.

WordWrap - SimpleHyp will only wrap lines on screen if the line length exceeds 1024 characters. It will then wrap at the 1024th character. Word wrapping is not available. Lines will not wrap when printing.

File Size Limit - SimpleHyp is limited to files smaller than 1Mbyte in size. Larger files will not be opened. If a smaller file grows to 1Mbyte while editing or pasting, it will be truncated to 1Mbyte. This size limit will not present a problem for normal internet web pages.
