SoftQuad Inc. of Toronto, Ontario, today shipped the first copies of
SoftQuad HoTMetaL PRO, the commercial version of its popular HTML editor.
The software is now available for Microsoft Windows 3.1 and for Sun SPARC
Unix systems.

SoftQuad HoTMetaL PRO is a word processor for the Internet geared
especially towards Mosaic and other Web browsers. It shields the user from
complicated coding and checks that the documents are valid HTML, the
single file format used to structure documents on the Web and to hyperlink
them to other documents, pictures, audio and film clips.

SoftQuad HoTMetaL PRO features include:

- Templates, including a Home Page template;
- A URL editor that saves you from many simple typing errors and
  means that you don't need to understand the full URL syntax;
- Keyboard macros;
- A Preview feature to launch a browser on the current document;
- A Publish feature to change URLs within a document from local file
  references to web references (say), all at once or individually;
- Full validation against the latest HTML 2.0 IETF draft standard;
- Display of local images inline in the document;
- A graphical editor for tables (using the experimental table markup
  used by Mosaic 2.5);
- Context-sensitive dialogues that let you choose from annotated lists
  of HTML elements to insert at any point.

SoftQuad HoTMetaL PRO is currently available for Microsoft Windows 3.1 and
for Sun SPARC systems running SunOS 4.1.x and X11 or OpenWindows. The list
price on all platforms is US$195; site licences and volume discounts are
also available.

Support for other Unix platforms will be introduced shortly, including DEC
Alpha (under OSF/1) and HP 700 series. A Macintosh version is expected
later this year.
