AOLpress

AOLpress was an HTML editor available from AOL. It was originally developed as NaviPress by the company NaviSoft before being bought by AOL. It was discontinued in 2000. However, the last version (2.0) may still be found on some websites for downloading. AOLpress was rather strict about enforcing legal HTML which did not conform to the HTML 3.2 standard and specifications. When saving edited pages which were created outside AOLpress, code that did not comply may have been changed to do so. Today, the HTML code used is very outdated and may not display more recent websites. It does not support PNG, and this limits its support on many websites where the new PNG format has been adopted.

History

In February 1994, NaviSoft Inc. released Navipress, which was a web browser with an integrated HTML editor. Navisoft was very similar to the first web browser (created by TIm Berners-Lee), WorldWideWeb, for Mac OS and Microsoft Windows. According to Berners-Lee, "Navipress was a true browser and editor, which produced clean HTML."
