Hypermake front end with integrated editor, contents window and index window
Hypermake is enabled to manage big hypertext projects like a Wiki, for example a documentation in an Intranet. In opposite to a lot of other Content Management software, Hypermake generates static web pages which can be compiled by search engines without problems.
There's no limit for the complexness of an Hypermake project. The source text can be splitted to a lot of nested text files with different authors and the number of gererated HTML pages has no limit.
A Hypermake key feature is the way of generating links: With Hypermake, the link target gets marked and not the link origin. Marking a word or a phrase of several words with a special character in the source text will generate a link from all other occurrences of the word or phrase in the document to the marked position and an entry in the index.
