Welcome to Macro HTML

Top  Next

MacroHTML is an application that allows you to create static websites very easily. It does this by helping you in several ways:

·	generates html from easily readable text

·	allows you to define (and maintain) repeating sections of pages just once

·	link checker - makes sure that you have no missing links in your site

·	sitemap creator

·	manages the files in your project in an easy to navigate manner

As a programmer, I found creating and looking after my website a tiring and tedious job - one that I'd usually avoid if possible. What I wanted was something that combined the ease of c/c++ '#include files' (for those repeating sections of the pages such as the header or footer and some menu items with a 'wiki' like syntax.

I wanted to be able to define a hyperlink just by typing it in: [[www.cnn.com]] rather than all that <a href...> stuff. To put images in just like this: {{mypicture.jpg}} And to define headings just like this ==Heading==. Of course I needed to be able to use HTML as well, because there was no point in implementing everything - just those things that I wanted most.

What it is not. MacroHTML is not a complex, expensive and sophisticated website generation tool. Because of this I cannot offer technical support (except for bug fixes) for people using it. However, the learning curve that it presents should be fairly easy to surmount if you have a reasonable technical understanding of what it's doing and computers in general.
