What Does HTX Do?

HTX is a set of utilities that allows you to maintain and access a collection of dynamic multi-page hypertext documents that refer to each other. Its main element is a hypertext linker which can be used to establish cross-references between documents and to re-establish these whenever changes occur to individual documents.

The information generated by the linking process is used by other HTX utilities to provide access to hypertext documentation, permitting document searches and the rapid display of selected parts of documents.

Other software can also make use of these facilities to obtain random access to any part of a cross-linked documentation set, forming a basis for on-line or context-sensitive hypertext help systems.

See § for descriptions of each of the utilities that HTX provides.
