Great utility
by Andreas Krennmair - Sep 5th 2000 15:11:15
Forget WYSIWYG, forget pure HTML, the Website Meta Language is
unbeatable! Though in the beginning it's hard to understand,
you can make almost unmaintainable websites maintainable within
an hour. I converted almost all of my projects websites
to WML, and I really like it. I also found a simple way
with WML to keep website's menus up-to-date while avoiding
frames. The included Perl interpretation while compiling
the pages makes it even easier to realise things like including last
modification or compile time into a HTML page.

Like sendmail: Extremely powerfull, but extremely hard to understand
by DeKay - Jan 14th 1999 17:19:37
If someone wants to generate HTML-pages based on some other information for
input, then this is absolutely the right tool. It is easy to use, but hard
to understand. It uses 9(!) different languages like m4 and perl.

I don't think that 9 BACKENDS ( not languages,
there are progs meant with backends) are a
disadvantage, you only need HTML, some Perl and
some (easy) WML stuff (HINT: try WML's doc browser
wmd), I also brought some php in and WML never
complained about (means, php-stuff was ignored :-)
If one thing is too hard to code in one language
you can easily switch to another.
And don't forget all the usefull and allready
in-built stuff like ToC or very easy
table-generation (with grid or xtable both with
pros and cons).
Sure you need some time to get used to it, but it
made my life very easy, layout changes are done
within minutes and a new page insert in the time I
need to write its content. I'm sure won't want to
miss it after a short while.
If you have probs with getting started or you want
(more or less) page framework check my page and
grab it's source (2 languages) www.TomK32.de

Help me please...
by kiropyckoticks - Sep 4th 2003 05:16:13
I am going to report about WML Website Meta Language about 3 weeks from
now. I have to run it on linux and demonstrate how to use it basically. I
gathered some data and some rpm (redhat package modules?) and i tried to
install it on my computer. but i failed.
I am using my Windows because my linux can't install my internal modem. so
i have to copy files to diskette so i can use it on my linux hard disk. i
am really having a hard time.
can somebody email me some information about how to install this on
slackware or redhat linux. which program to download and some sample source
code and how to run it. i am just starting to learn linux and it is great.
but i am easily overwhelmed with the new environment since i am a Windows
users where all you have to do is to point and click. he he he.
today is (sept 04, 2003) your help will be so much appreciated. my email
is "kiropyckoticks@yahoo.com".
I really do not get the picture of this WML.
