  Abstract

In order to present wireless Internet users with previously created HTML contents and applications, it is essential to research and develop the technology to efficiently convert HTML documents into WML documents and further provide a way to edit the WML documents. This paper describes the design and development of a WML converter and WML editor. The WML converter can convert HTML pages in real-time into WML documents that are suitable for the WAP environment. The WML editor enables creation and modification of WML documents in a WYSIWYG fashion. These tools enable the previous services based on HTML documents to be easily adapted to the wireless environment. The developed WML converter can be installed on a proxy server to support real-time conversion of Web contents. It is superior to other converters in terms of the various image formats it supports and the improvements on the conversion of the link and frame tags. Users can continuously browse via links and also view frames. Automatic dividing of large WML documents into WML cards and user defined conversion rules are also supported. The WML editor is also integrated with the converter and provides an integrated WYSIWYG environment for creating, converting and publishing WML documents.
