Imagine that you could combine in one product a standardized web browser, with all the nice features that usually has been possible only in tailor-made SGML/XML browsers: features like reading native SGML and XML files without transformation into HTML, advanced linking support, CALS tables, structured search, advanced navigators, friendly user interface etc. This is a product that all, especially companies within the technical field, have been waiting for a long time. DocZilla makes it all possible, plus much more. CiTEC has taken advantage of Mozilla's unique approach to fostering component-based software development in creating DocZilla. The component mechanism is called XPCOM (Cross Platform COM) and has the advantage of working on all major operating systems. The DocZilla components address the demanding requirements of complex documentation and electronic publishing systems: technical illustration, precision searching, efficient handling of extremely large documents, dynamically-generated navigators, powerful link capabilities, complex tables, and SGML. DocZilla displays XML and SGML directly just like HTML, using Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) and can manipulate the entire document dynamically using the Document Object Model (DOM) and JavaScript. "CSS works really well with XML, as our DocZilla Kit demonstrates," according to Mr. Peltonen. "Combined with the DOM virtually anything can be accomplished in the browser's scripting environment. XML and the DOM leave DHTML in the dust. The next generation of capability for the Web has arrived." SGML is the standard, which is the father of both HTML and XML and has been in use for over a decade. The DocZilla team decided to do what many said was impossible, to support SGML in a standard Web browser along with XML and HTML. "There are many, many gigabytes of SGML documents out there, ready to take advantage of the Web infrastructure," says Bjorn Peltonen, Vice President of Citec Information. "DocZilla provides a solution for getting complex information in SGML on the Web without the high costs of conversion. DocZilla works equally well over the Internet, in intranets, on local and network file systems, and on CD-ROM. This DocZilla Demonstration Kit is designed to help people understand and see first hand what XML and SGML on the Web is all about. We've also put in lots of cool stuff accessible with point-and-click simplicity on DocZilla Web Site. The Table of Contents pane in the Sidebar at the left of screen contains the document set of all demonstration documents included. Just browse the document tree and load documents just by clicking tree items. Citec Information is a leading company specialized in turning technical information into knowledge.
