HTML Copier for Webcomics

Personal Project (Utility Software)

HTML Copier is utility software designed specifically for webcomickers. As webcomic archives become increasingly large, it becomes a greater hastle for the artist to make changes to website layout. Normaly it would be suggested that they use CSS or PHP to manage their site. However, in this case, many webcomikers can barely grasp HTML. Relatively few of them wish to learn new technical skills which will become outmoded in a few more years. This software was designed to help technically uniformed webcomickers maintain large archives.

The software reads a specially prepared HTML file. It then creates a specified number of linked HTML pages. This allows webcomic artists to quickly replace the code for an entire archive.

Future plans include developing a more user-friendly interface and adding some useability options.
