I am in the process of designing a structured document creation and display
set of utilities for on-line documentation of my software products and
more general Amiga "electronic publishing". I would like the data formats
of the files used to conform as much as possible to existing standards.
I have read the IFF FTXT documentation and am wondering if any further
development of this standard has been done. Specifically, has there
been any work on defining the standard method for specifying text
positioning? If not, I will have to design my own IFF chunks to
achieve this; I will have to do some of this anyway to provide a
graph structure on the document and specify gadget size and location
for moving between graph nodes, activating 8SVX sounds or ANIM
animations, etc.
Has this work been done already by anyone? Would anybody be interested
in working on the specification of such a standard (seems to be all
the rage these days) for Amiga electronic publishing?
Thanks for your time.
