Amaya is a Web client that acts both as a browser and as an authoring tool. It has been designed by W3C with the primary purpose of demonstrating new Web technologies in a WYSIWYG environment. The current version implements HTML, XHTML, MathML, SVG, CSS, and HTTP.

Main Features

With Amaya, you can manipulate rich Web pages containing forms, tables and the most advanced features from HTML. You can create and edit complex mathematical expressions and simple SVG graphics within Web pages. You can style your documents using Cascading Style Sheets. You can publish HTML, XHTML, MathML and SVG documents on local or remote servers through HTTP. A first support of generic-xml allows you to display the content of every XML document and to associate with it a CSS Style Sheet.

Browsing and authoring are integrated seamlessly. You can browse and edit Web pages at the same time. To make editing easier, a simple click in Amaya just moves the caret and allows text input; to follow a link, you have to double click. This behavior can be changed as well as many other features using the Special/Preferences menu.

Amaya includes a collaborative annotation application based on W3C technologies (RDF, XLink, and XPointer). Annotations are external comments, notes, remarks that can be attached to any Web document or a selected part of the document. Annotations are stored either into the local file system or into annotation servers and can be shared. The creation of annotations on a document doesn't modify the document itself.

Online Manual

A User's Manual is available online. You can access it with the Help menu, which displays each section separately. You can also print it: just follow the Online Manual link below. You'll get the front page. Then build the whole book with the "Make book" entry from the Special menu and print the result.
