7 \bf{HTC} is a small, server based, LaTeX-like language,
8 which is used to efficiently create WWW applications.
9 Among the more useful features are:
10 \ul{
11 \li{
12 \bf{Access control} - HTC uses a cookie-based authorization
13 mechanism to manage users in a highly transparent way.
14 }
15 \li{
16 \bf{Database management} - Built in to the language are tools
17 for managing databases.
18 }
19 \li{
20 \bf{Language control} - HTC handles multiple languages, controllable
21 by standard browser preferences or cookies.
22 }
23 \li{
24 \bf{Math support} - Due to the built-in LaTeX language, HTC can
25 display simple equations directly in HTML, and has a high
26 degree of transferability to any future standard (such as MathML).
27 }
28 \li{
29 \bf{Static/dynamic switching} - HTC can be used to create static
30 mirrors, which increase download performance.
31 }
32 \li{
33 \bf{No frames} - HTC keeps track of the link tree, so that
34 quick access can be made without using frames, and hence
35 suitable also for text-based browsers.
36 }

39 \bf{HTC} is a completely stand-alone \bf{CGI} program written in C++,
40 making heavy use of \bf{STL}; (Standard template library),
41 and using a simple database manager, written the same way.
42 The language interpreter is designed to resemble \bf{LaTeX},
43 and to run quickly. For more information,
44 send me a \href{mailto: \ADMIN}{mail}. /h
