Sony PEG-NZ90 Picsel HTML File Format Support - Page 4

Picsel HTML File Format Support Page 4 ePAGE supports the most popular global file formats. The formats interpreted by ePAGE are richly expressive, containing not just text but sophisticated layout and rendering features, rich fonts, colour, images, tables, graphics and many other document features. Picsel is continuously developing its file format support to eventually cover every feature of the native file. With such a wealth of features across many document types, this is inevitably an ongoing process, with milestone releases of new functionality planned at periodic intervals. The approach involves researching the feature set most commonly found in real documents, building support early for the most frequently used elements, and ensuring these features are reproduced with total faithfulness to the original. The emphasis of ePAGE is on displaying rich content rather than on reproducing the document creation facilities of the original application. This document describes the features supported in ePAGE. This level of support already covers the vast majority of characteristics that occur in day to day documents of this type, and the specific features are described with notes where appropriate. Those features planned for future implementation are also described, for completeness. HTML Hypertext Markup Language is used for the text and structure of web pages on the World Wide Web. It was originally designed to represent scientific papers in a form that allowed different organisations to print them in different styles, but has since been extended to cover formatting and page layout issues, and of course to include pictures. HTML is easy to write. Even relatively non-technical people can write it directly into a text editor, including hypertext links to other pages, references to images, document formatting, colours, and other details. Unfortunately, decoding it is more difficult as there are many small errors which are interpreted in certain ways by popular software, and have become assumed to be part of the standard.
