HoTMetaL

HoTMetaL

HoTMetaL was a very early commercial HTML-authoring software, released in 1994 by SoftQuad Software of Toronto, Canada.

Based on the SGML engine of Author Editor, HoTMetaL was released with a free version and a professional version (HoTMetaL Pro). It received PC Magazine's Editors Choice Award in 1995 as well as a variety of other awards.

HoTMetaL went through several incarnations from versions 1 though 6. Eventually the product line was discontinued as an HTML editor, although the user interface lives on in XMetaL, a commercial XML editor.

The Name

The capital letters in HoTMetaL spell HTML. The term "hot metal" is one of several terms used for older typesetting technology, which involves melting alloys into the shape of letters so they can be used by Linotype and other machines to print words on paper.
