prompted for a URL and a name for the link. The text then gets highlighted as if it appeared
in a WWW browser and a database of URLs is updated.
Creating hypertext links to sound, movie, or picture files works in a similar manner. First
you select some text and then drag the appropriate icon from the palette on to the selection.
You are then prompted for a file through a standard Macintosh dialog box. (Only files that
are in the
same folder as your current Arachnid project are valid.) Once the file is selected, Arachnid
creates the hypertext link for you.
Arachnid has three modes of operation: edit, pointer, browse. Edit mode is intended for
entering text and marking up your document. Pointer mode allows you to move objects
(paragraphs of text, picture, etc.) around on the screen. Browse mode imitates a WWW
browser without any external hypertext links.
Despite these features, Arachnid is not very easy to use. It is a slow application taking a lot
of time to switch between modes as well as simple entering of text. To actually create any
HTML documents you must "Export" your text. A simple file with no formatting
containing 2K characters took 2 minutes of processing on a Quadra 660AV. Importing text
takes just as long. Furthermore, Arachnid does not even generate valid HTML; the
resulting documents contain no BODY tags. Last, the Arachnid palette containing many of
the tool you need for editing consume a large amount of screen real estate; it could be
smaller.
Arachnid works as advertised, but it does it in such a slow and round-about manner that
you may want to use some other HTML editor reviewed here.
