HTML on Spectrum?!
ZXNet echo conference «zx.spectrum»
From Max Romanoff → To All 20 February 1998
Andrew is that you?
...why did you tell everyone about HTML on the Spectrum?! ?
AS> All this “good” can be oriented towards the Spectrum, throwing out unnecessary

and what does a screen similar to the Spectrum have to do with it? html -
is a platform-independent language, every platform, and every program on
every platform can do everything it needs. if the page is wider -
scroll left and right, etc.

AS> In a word: who will develop a standard on HTML-Z and who is the browser sculpting?
Gee, maybe it’s better to forget about it?
Good Luck...

imho Max says correctly, the browser can’t do a good job on spec so
so many people, you can count them on your fingers.

Well...
You can make a watcher, but without TCP/IP it will be of little use...
And making your own standard is stupid. It’s impossible to push him into ANSI/ISO, but masturbation is enough.

PF> so many people, you can count them on one hand.
In my opinion, everything is elementary. HTML - roughly speaking, a system for marking text, changing the font, its size, forming tables, attaching graphics, well, there are all sorts of links for quickly moving to the desired section of the text. Any shell to
the magazine is a browser. We're talking about developing a standard - then
publications, information can be disseminated by text, and everyone will use their favorite browser (it's just a
viewer!).
PS: I'm sure you could do it in an elementary way ;)

that’s not it. visibility is lost when creating documents and again,

be processed easily - there are not many of them.

hey, do you think there will be a lot of them? :)
DG> PS: I'm sure you could do it easily ;)
yes, you need a brain to store several font sizes. Thisminimum.
+ a good procedure for displaying PROPORTIONAL and NOT
proportional fonts with styles in different places of the screen with cropping
around the edges and other baubles... too much is required and too little
space.
Good Luck...

and I'm sure you :) (translated the arrows coolly)
for this you need a person who knows html (and accordingly has PC/Amy/Mac...)
and you also need his desire (having a PC/Amy/Mac ;)
I would probably take it, but I don’t want to do things that are unnecessary for anyone.

Yes, it’s not worth it. For writing pages. But it is worth having some pseudo-code, with
shortened tags; it is better to keep the graphics in the same file with the text. This will reduce
the size of the text (by the way, you can provide for storing two characters in one
byte if the text is written only in Russian or only in English) and will speed up
its output by the “browser”, this will be especially noticeable on “heavily decorated”
text. That is, compile standard HTML into a more compact form and distribute it in this
form on Spectrum networks.

Uh-huh. What's the problem with "place"? If you don't have enough internet, it's easy
to write pages in any text editor...

Or two people - one on the Spectrum, the other on R/A/M. In general, html, in the
form in which it is needed on the Spectrum (without Java/multimedia) - it's not easy, but
very simple.

Until there is the first browser, no one will need them...

I agree with you, it’s simple...
DG> While there is no first browser, no one will need them...
But never mind, I have transferred pages many times at the request of users
ZXNet 095 and they ordered them with soap (see the guide to using FTP and WWW using e-mail). And everything came to them via postal command normally, with soap, and no conversion was even required. And since they ordered and are ordering
pages, then it’s necessary (the ZXNet law must be followed)!
But if you climb directly from the Spectrum, then such a browser is simply necessary!
And what... the reception of graphics, video, audio, markup doesn’t matter... and go ahead!
But the speed will be faster than any PC and AMMY (on HAYES 14400) due to the
exclusion of these elements.

On normal browsers, you can quickly disable everything unnecessary. ABOUT! Someone here
threatened to port a bunch of things to Speccy? Empty Lynx portal, for starters :-)

s.... horror... well, as it follows from this, the graphics should be in 2
colors at once. otherwise - brakes.

If you disable all of the above on a PC or AMMY, then yes, the speed
won’t be any cooler...
But no one turns it off ;) I only turn off audio and video (unless I’m talking on

Does anyone read his letters??????????
With his ugly writing style, when it takes ten minutes to parse these scribbles
imho this is absolute disrespect for echo subscribers. Considering that
there are no problems with getting a Russifier, especially since he still reads letters from here, it means he has it and therefore this is just a mockery of all of us. Therefore, I put a tweet on it (and Twit Action Delete)

you know, I once saw how V works on 060/CV in 24 bits... I
couldn’t eat for three days... Spectrum with such a speed the screen can’t even
cleanse...
no, everything is possible, but the question is whether it is expedient. but it’s better
not to talk about speed...

Maybe he wrote a transcoder from ordinary Russian to his... ;)
And, IMHO, in order for him to write purely in Russian, in addition to the Russifier, he also needs a Russian keyboard, or, you can also stick the letters on the keys yourself... or will he type everything from memory? ;) In short - how can he write like that, oh well...
I also thought about the transcoder - if he wrote it in one direction, then
should he do the same in the other? :)))
