Amaya 11.2 Pre

Amaya 11.2 Pre is another excellent Web editor which allows you to add or edit documents directly on the Web. Browsing features are seamlessly integrated with the editing and remote access features in a uniform environment. This follows the original vision of the Web as a space for collaboration and not just a one-way publishing medium.

This tool works on Amaya started at W3C in 1996 to showcase Web technologies in a fully-featured Web client. The main motivation for developing Amaya was to provide a framework that can integrate as many W3C technologies as possible. It is used to demonstrate these technologies in action while taking advantage of their combination in a single, consistent environment.

Amaya first started as an HTML + CSS style sheets editing software. Since that time it was extended to support XML and an increasing number of XML applications such as the XHTML family, MathML, and SVG. It allows all those vocabularies to be edited simultaneously in compound documents.

Major Features: 

1. Amaya lets users both browse and author Web pages - Using Amaya you can create Web pages and upload them onto a server.
   
2. Amaya maintains a consistent internal document model adhering to the DTD - Amaya always represents the document internally in a structured way consistent with the Document Type Definition (DTD).
   
3. Amaya is able to work on several documents at a time - Several (X)HTML, native MathML (.mml) and SVG (.svg) documents can be displayed and edited at a time.
4. Amaya helps authors create hypertext links - The editor helps you create and text out links to other documents on the Web from the document you currently are working on.
   
5. Amaya includes a collaborative annotation application - Annotations are external comments, notes, remarks that can be attached to any Web document or a selected part of the document.
