heitml for Designers and HTML users
As an HTML User you no doubt value the time you spent learning how to create
and format Web Documents. By now you are familiar with HTML's strengths and
weaknesses, and have probably heard about many tools that help you to avoid HTML
altogether. WYSIWYG editors, converters, etc., are just a few of the popular
topics being reported in the press these days.
But heitml is completely different. heitml doesn't treat you like an
idiot, nor does it require you to change the way you work, or give up the
skills you have come to rely on. Instead, heitml builds on the strong points
of HTML and adds features that enable you to create a complete and complex
variety of exciting applications, including those that access or
interact with information stored in databases, that dynamically react to User
input, or simply take advantage of specific features of particular Browsers. 
With heitml, Web Applications that formerly required you to involve yourself
with the ugly syntax of CGI Scripting Languages now become a snap to create.
heitml provides you with a large number of powerful and familiar HTML-style
Tags you can use in virtually any application imaginable. Whether you
desire to build dynamic Web Pages that change content based on who accesses a
page, the time of day, or any other criteria you select, heitml provides the means to
get the job done with a minimum of fuss. You can build database applications like
guestbooks, registration databases, search indexes, or shopping applications.
In short, anything you desire becomes possible, all without having to abandon
the HTML syntax that has proven to be so familiar and dependable.

You probably already have many ideas in mind to improve your Web Site, some of
which would normally require extensive programming. In many cases heitml enables
you to complete these tasks without programming. Using the heitml
Built-in or Library Tags you can create complex, dynamic pages that draw information
from or update a Database simply by creating a form or table and inserting Tags that
describe how the application reacts to the data fields. And, for those cases
where programming is required, heitml provides the power and
capablility of a full-featured programming language. Whether you want to create
new Tags and Libraries on your own, or take advantage of those provided by third-party
developers, heitml gives you the flexibility to choose.
