Web tools

As soon as I started my work as an Applications Specialist at the New Mexico Tech Computer Center (see my work page), I was drawn to the World Wide Web as an excellent method for putting up lots of documentation in a short time.

• The Tech Computer Center Help system was my first big project.
• When this help system grew beyond 500 pages, I got tired of all the drudgery required in maintaining it, and wrote WebStyler, which is basically an outline-driven macro expander that puts in navigational links (e.g., Next and Previous) with a minimum of fuss.
• Another particular interest is the automatic generation of Web pages from database sources. The first one of these I did was the TCC Knowledge Matrix display.
• I'm working with the Public Information Office at Tech in their ongoing project to build the Institute's homepages. See the Spring 1996 course schedule for an example of a large web generated automatically by a program named schedweb.
