WHAT IS IT?
WebLord is not an HTML editor!
WebLord is a powerful web site construction and maintenance tool. It is
designed especially to enable creation and maintenance of large sites.
WebLord excels at reducing the obscure clutter, repetitive references,
and common typographical errors that are the lot of the designer who is
stuck with less capable tools.
Many so-called website construction tools attempt to hold the designer's
hand by hiding the HTML and presenting what they bill as a WYSIWYG (What
You See Is What You Get) interface. WebLord elegantly side-steps this
misguided mixing of markup (HTML) and layout (DTP) concepts, and
transcends the usual focus on merely editing the HTML code rather than
providing the needed tools to maintain an entire site.
WebLord constructs pages from patterns of objects. Objects are built
from other objects, and object properties are inherited through the
chain of references, thus providing context-specific construction of
output. An object can be as simple as a string literal, an image
reference, a paragraph of text, or the contents of an entire file,
dynamically generated through any program that WebLord is told to
invoke.
But what IS WebLord??? It's an object-based web site compiler.
