Blaze Composer Changelog

What's new in Blaze Composer 3.0

• Layout manager allows you to create your own layout and thus save a lot of work later in designing.
• Style Sheet Creator, which you can use to create style sheets to reduce time taken for defining styles for each and every element.
• Navigation Bar creator that'll help you create horizontal navigation bars - CSS based.
• A better start-up wizard, that has many added features, including tip of the day.
• HTML tutorial for those who like to tinker the code, but can't.
• Plug-in tools that allows it to become more extensible. Certain tools are being written by the author of Blaze Composer that are useful HTML tools - and these are standalone tools. You, as a user may also have some tools that you might want to access from within Blaze Composer
• FTP client for those who want to transfer their files online directly.
• Better templates. Of course, with Layout manager and style sheet creator, creating your own templates is cooler.
• Strip HTML is another new feature that was added to allow you to convert any piece of HTML document to simple text format.
• Several small features have been added like viewing the page in Internet Explorer, etc. Also several existing features were upgraded like inserting rectangular box now has a dialog that you can use to create any kind of box with multiple attributes. This is because the importance of rectangular boxes was realised in developing neat and structured pages.
• Restore point also has been upgraded. Check out the new one.
• Spell check was added because of the requests I got. But unfortunately I couldn't get a complete dictionary with which I could match the words. So I decided to integrate Spell Check with Microsoft Word. When you press spell check, Blaze Composer calls MS Word and copies your document into Word, and asks word to spell check. Therefore even your HTML tags get checked, and maybe flagged as an error. All you need to do is press on "Add to dictionary" button. This will avoid Word from flagging errors in the future. Once the entire spell check is complete, Blaze will recover the document back to itself, and you'll not even know when the transition took place. Although it's in reality an inconvenience, it's also bad luck because of no good complete dictionary.
• Four plug-in tools are provided. Colour Picker is used to return the hex colour code of the colour that you selected so that you don't have to refer to boring colour charts again. Colour viewer is useful to see how your pages will look for the selected colour combination. FTP is an FTP client for you to upload your pages. Block access lets you block users from viewing your pages. Read its help from the program.
• A great addition in the Editor part of Blaze is the quick tag bar. It has the list of all tags in HTML. All you have to do is select the tag. You can even search for the tags as you type in. Also, as an added advantage all css properties have also been given. You'll see Blaze now has better colours. The program is still not fully complete. But I thought it better to release it now.
