WebWeb Pages

WebWeb is an easy-to-use system which allows multiple users to share simple text pages over the web. The pages can contain special controls which create emphasised text, bulleted lists and so on.

Pages can easily refer to other pages within the system. When a page is mentioned by name in the contents of another page, the system automatically creates a hyperlink to it. This is called an internal reference.

Other web pages can be referred to in two different ways. When a URL is found within the contents of a page, the system creates an external reference. However, a tidier and more formal way of referring to external pages is though citations. A citation is a word enclosed in square brackets which can be associated with a URL. If any images (GIF or JPEG) are referred to by either method, they are automatically inlined.
