### Amaya

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 What You See Is What You Get (WYSIWYG) environment. The current version implements the Hypertext Markup Language (HTML), Extensible Hypertext Markup Language (XHTML), Mathematical Markup Language (MathML), Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG), the animation module of Synchronized Multimedia (SMIL Animation), Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), and Hypertext Transfer Protocol (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 Extensible Markup Language (XML) allows you to display the content of every XML document and to associate with it a CSS Stylesheet.

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 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 Edit/Preferences menu.

Amaya includes a collaborative annotation application based on W3C technologies (Resource Description Framework (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 in the local file system or on publically-accessible annotation servers. The creation of annotations on a document does not 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 this Online Manual link. You will get the front page. Then build the whole book with the "Make book" entry from the XHTML menu and print the result.
