Choosing an authoring tool
Trial documentation in the InForm application consists of sets of HTML files that you store in the InForm application database by processing them with the MedML Installer. To create files in HTML, you can:
- Use an HTML editor to author directly in HTML. Any text editor, such as Microsoft Windows Notepad, provides this capability. However, you may find it convenient to use a tool with specific HTML capabilities. Microsoft FrontPage enables HTML authoring with a graphical interface similar to a word processor. Many other HTML editors provide text editing features with specialized tools that make it easy to add HTML tags.
- Use a word processor with an HTML conversion tool. Microsoft Word provides this capability. When you finish preparing your document in regular Word format, you use a simple menu command to convert the document to HTML format. Following the conversion, you can edit the converted file with an HTML or text editing tool to create Table of Contents or other links and to make any necessary formatting changes.
