Download/HomepageIf web-site maintenance is your particular battlefield, HTML Power Tools
is an industrial-strength suite of eight utilities that can help you win the war. Choose
one or the entire toolset, to analyze web-page problems, do HTML validation, freshen up
date stamps, find bad links or obsolete files, ensure you site is listed on the major
search engines, ensure every IMG tag has height/width/ALT values, convert web pages to
plain text, or do in-depth search and replace across your whole site --these tools do a
great job and do it FAST. Plus, there's an HTML-aware spell checker that handles web
content where conventional spell-checkers just don't cut it. And to best suit your needs,
you can customize the included browser definitions (which include HTML 4, IE4, Navigator
4, and more). It's effective arsenal, suitable for novice or pro.
This version has improved support for tables and cells in HTML validation, faster running
speed, and the PowerSpell tool is included in the suite price of $59, rather than
purchased at additional cost. The highlights and pricing of each tool are listed below.
A new FREE bonus product is now available, called Link Checker (which is reviewed
separately since it's a stand-alone tool that works with or without HTML Power Tools).
Link Checker validates remote HTTP:// links. Refer to that review at this site.
HTML Power Tools is very intuitive to use, with its Launch Pad interface to all tools.
This pad contains up to eight buttons for access to each of the tools you've installed.
It's a handy small size, so you can just park the Launch Pad somewhere on the screen, and
bring up whatever tool as you need it. Each tool has its own wizards and help file to
answer any questions you might have along the way. But you'll find they're all friendly
and sensible in operation. Here's more detail on each tool, with the prices if purchased
separately.
(1) HTML PowerAnalyzer -- ($24.95) Ensure your markup is perfectly error free. This uses
comprehensive algorithms to scan your HTML files and alert you to all errors located.
Catches all syntax errors, invalid characters, entity codes, non-text characters,
missing/invalid link references for both local files and web pages on other servers,
missing anchors, and link references containing capital letters, useful for case-sensitive
UNIX servers. Can be customized and supports HTML 3.2/4, Netscape 3 and 4, and Internet
Explorer 3 and 4. Analyze for the selected browser, and it will flag any proprietary HTML
tags not supported. It also lists all files not in use so you can spot old ones that may
be deletable.
(2) HTML Power Spell -- ($24.95) Typos mar you web presence. Spell-check every page on the
entire site, and FAST too! This tool fully understands HTML code and checks the right
stuff, and includes support for custom dictionaries, multiple languages, plus other custom
spelling and/or context options.
(3) HTML Image Scanner -- ($14.95) Make those image laden pages appear to load faster --
it starts with ensuring the right width and height parameters are correct, which can be
hard if you frequently change/add images. This tool's a necessity, then. It scans every
IMG tag and inserts the right one at the click of a button. And even if missing ALT tags
aren't necessarily an error, they make things nicer for visitors while waiting for
graphics to load.
(4) HTML Meta Manager -- ($19.95) You want your site, and all its pages to show up on the
major search engines, but what a pain it is to insert/update meta tags! Just enter a
description and keywords for your pages in one easy window, and Meta Manager adds the meta
tags to them all -- no more of this manual page-by-page stuff. Edits are a piece of cake
too.
(5) HTML Power Search -- (19.95) Powerful, HTML-aware search tool that does search and
replace across an entire site, including subdirectories, with a single click. Use
wild-cards too.
(6) HTML Date Stamper -- ($14.95) If your pages are fresh, keep those date stamps fresh
too, so your visitors will know it. Still, to insert a new, "date last modified"
annotation on each page is a tedious task -- but this tool will do the job, for all or
selected web pages, with single-click ease.
(7) HTML to Text Converter -- (free) Sometimes you just gotta change an HTML document to
text -- but if you just strip out the markup , the result is a pretty ugly sight. This
converter takes a pretty approach, interpreting the HTML tags and creating a text document
with closely matched formatting. As much as is possible with text, right? But things like
headings, titles, bullets, and multi-numbered lists can be maintained. There are other
options too, check it out. And it runs in batch mode, so some or all of the files in your
selected project can be converted with one click. Very fast.
(8) HTML Rulebase Editor -- (free) Keep pace of the constant HTML evolution. As real-world
implementations change, you can customize and update every attribute of every HTML tag and
tag attribute that's affected. And just open up the editor anytime -- it also doubles as a
complete online reference of the entire HTML language.
As HTML implementations evolve, new rulebase updates are regularly posted at the Talicom
web site for download. Check in periodically to ensure you keep your Rulebase Editor
current. (There is no charge for rulebase updates.)
I think just about every base is covered with HTML PowerTools. These utilities are
comprehensive and leave nothing to chance or assumption. Everything is free for you to try
out for 30 days, completely functional. Installation is easy and support is offered to
registered users. For more information on pricing and ordering, refer to the product
website. You could pay a whole lot more for tools like this and get a whole lot less.
