\h1{HTC - A Hypertext Compiler/Interpreter}
\h3{Henrik Rydberg (Copyright 1998--2001)}
\bf{HTC} is a small, server based, LaTeX-like language,
which is used to efficiently create WWW applications.
Among the more useful features are:
\ul{
\li{
\bf{Access control} - HTC uses a cookie-based authorization
mechanism to manage users in a highly transparent way.
}
\li{
\bf{Database management} - Built in to the language are tools
for managing databases.
}
\li{
\bf{Language control} - HTC handles multiple languages, controllable
by standard browser preferences or cookies.
}
\li{
\bf{Math support} - Due to the built-in LaTeX language, HTC can
display simple equations directly in HTML, and has a high
degree of transferability to any future standard (such as MathML).
}
\li{
\bf{Static/dynamic switching} - HTC can be used to create static
mirrors, which increase download performance.
}
\li{
\bf{No frames} - HTC keeps track of the link tree, so that
quick access can be made without using frames, and hence
suitable also for text-based browsers.
}
}
\bf{HTC} is a completely stand-alone \bf{CGI} program written in C++,
making heavy use of \bf{STL}; (Standard template library),
and using a simple database manager, written the same way.
The language interpreter is designed to resemble \bf{LaTeX},
and to run quickly. For more information,
send me a \href{mailto: \ADMIN}{mail}. /h
