ViolaWWW Features List

• Fundamentally HTML 3.0 (ie: highly container based), plus many extensions for richer formatting capabilities. Extensions such as for multiple columns formatting, document insertion (client side), and dynamically collapsable/expandable list.
• Sidebar panel: for displaying "meta" information, or for intra document navigational links, etc. The panel is engaged and disengaged by the presence of the document that is associated with the sidebar document.
• Dynamic toolbar: document engaged tool applets (ie: navigational aids).
• Rudimentary stylesheet mechanism for attaching styling information to a document. For changing document's fonts, color information, alignments.
• A scripting language that is accessible from the HTML, such that an HTML document can embbed highly interactive scripts/applets.
• Miscellaneous niceties: hotlist facility; shows HTTP loading progress in a pie chart (when it has the information).
• An experimental platform. It's source available, even most of the browser is constructed in a highlevel scripting language; and is very customizable to someone who understands the scripting language.
• Motif front-end. The X11 (non Motif) version is also available.
• Self contained single binary for easy installation, unlike the old ViolaWWW which required setup of various viola application files.
