We usually list favorite programs - I don't recall seeing a thread on
freeware authors - some have written more than one great program. For
instance:

Marek Jedlinski - whose occasional posts to ACF are always a delight to
read. KeyNote (Pricelessware), PhoneDeck, KookieJar, Oubliette

Tony Helenius, the 17-yr-old boy genius of Easy Cleaner and several
others (Easy HTML, Easy Help, et. al.). Of course, Irfan Skiljan,
author of quite possibly the world's greatest piece of freeware for
Windows, Irfanview.

But my personal favorite is Linus Torvalds :)

AnalogX for sure.

And more recently, the Kana Solution guy (http://www.kana.homeip.net/). High
quality stuff, including the best DynDNS updater around, IMO.

sHTMLc
Click to expand...
v2.1
Freeware


What's new in version 2.1?

- Added option to select the XHTML version of <br>, namely <br />
- Added option to make the converted code into a "complete" HTML page by
adding <html> and <body> tags.


What is it?

sHTMLc (show HTML code) is meant for those who write HTML tutorials
published on the Internet and therefore have to present HTML code to the
reader. This means that some code must be changed in order to show
correctly. sHTMLc converts the code you copy to the clipboard.

Example:

If you want to show this HTML code:

<img src="graphics/with_cat.gif" width=75 height=75 alt="Me & my cat">

you can't just use that code (that would put a picture on the page), you
have to change some characters (code pieces), making it look like this:

&lt;img src=&quot;graphics/with_cat.gif&quot; width=75 height=75
alt=&quot;Me &amp; my cat&quot;&gt;

Now it will show up correctly on the page.


What does it do?

sHTMLc converts certain HTML code pieces to special characters:

HTML code Special characters

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----

< &lt;
&gt;
Click to expand...
" &quot;
& &amp;


It also converts carriage returns to <br> or <br />.


How do I use it?
First write the HTML-code in the normal way.
Select the code (1 or more lines) and copy it to the clipboard.
Select XHMTL to make get <br />; instead of <br>.
Select Add <html> and <body> to make the code into a complete web page.
Start up sHTMLc and pick a font color and/or enter a font size if needed.
Then click the Convert code button.
Paste the converted code back into your document.

How to install

Just unzip the zip-file in an empty folder.


How to uninstall

Delete shtmlc.exe, shtmlc.hlp, shtmlc.cnt, shtmlc.ini and the folder. sHTMLc
doesn't use the registry at all.


Download

Download sHTMLc v2.1 (150 kb including a help file)


Made with

Borland Delphi 4 Pro on Windows2000 and WindowsXP

It takes long time to load.
I think the site is on a free host and often visited.
Perhaps sometimes it won't load at all.
I guess you just have to be patient.

I like Grey Ollwit from www.adders.org
He gives great email support too.
You can see he really cares, you don't just get a short reply.
