HyperReader - Help *HyperReader

The HyperReader script attempts to read Bookreader format documents and present them as hypertext documents. Also refer to the description (including the limitations) of the server.

Document Pages

> The Hypertext interface should be intuitive enough to use. Documents are presented as a series of "pages", similar to Bookreader. The title of the book is presented across the top of the page, a series of buttons allow easy navigation of the book, the page content is presented between these and a second set of navigation buttons across the bottom of the page.

Table of Contents

> The document is opened showing the Table of Contents. From here any portion of the book can be selected.

Navigation Buttons

> The series of "buttons" are displayed top and bottom of each page, which when highlighted as a link provide provide direct access to other portions of the book.

Hotspots

> Bookreader documents include hotspots, allowing the reader to jump to other portions of the document. HyperReader implements these as highlighted links.

Figures and Graphics

> Images are presented inline or as "popups", as per Bookreader. Of course images may be saved locally using the specific brower's method. For example Netscape Navigator allows image saving using a right-click mouse operation when pointing over an image.

Close Button

> This button returns the browser to the shelf or other page the book was opened from.
