Stage 9: Links

In this stage creation and manipulation of links is implemented. While a link seems to be a rather trivial element in an HTML document, working with links without knowing how to to type in HTML code requires a quite complex GUI. This is because links can have many different forms with several exceptional handling of certain link types.

To allow for links referencing certain parts inside a given document, a way to edit so called link anchors is needed in addition.

Besides links and link anchors, stage 9 has some refined handling of paragraph tags and named styles from previous stage. And last but not least it compensates a somehow ugly effect of Java showing font sizes smaller than any web browser.
