A: Teslea is mainly an authoring tool with browsing features. Link management and remote publishing are key features in a hypertext editor, and these features require seamless integration of editing and browsing features.

A: No. Only authorized partners can do that.

A: Teslea is based on a pre-existing editing library, which was itself written in C. C has a number of advantages that fit well with product purposes. It's a very portable and efficient language. Also, a large part of the product is now written in C++.

A: Frames cause lots of problems for the Web model, e.g. standard URLs can only point at a frameset or a frame. Links and/or the back button can generate strange results. They also cause troubles to people with disabilities and make editing more complex. Unfortunately frames are not tagged deprecated and some people continue to use them. We recommend people to not use them.

A: The Unicode support is not completely finished yet. Depending on fonts available on your computer, some characters may or may not be displayed. Not available characters are displayed as small boxes.

A: Teslea has to cope with existing HTML pages, and very few of them validate against the HTML DTD (Document Type Definition). There are two possibilities:

1. Adopt a strict position and reject all invalid pages. Most users would be very disapointed not to be able to see many pages that other Web clients can display;
2. Accept invalid pages and let the software fix the most common bugs.

Teslea is build with the latter option and should try to fix bugs, but without losing information. If an element is not valid in a given context, Teslea tries to change the structure locally to make that element valid, but it doesn't delete the element or move it to a different place, which could change the document meaning. The issue is that a DTD only specifies the structure of a document class, not its semantics. When you consider an invalid document, there are often several ways to transform its structure to make it valid, but each transformation may have a different impact on the document semantics. The DTD does not allow you to choose the right transformation. Another important design decision is that, even if it accepts invalid documents, the structure and markup that it produces is always valid. Obviously, only elements created or changed by Teslea itself are concerned here. Some invalid parts of the original document may remain when the document is saved. The above remarks only apply to HTML documents. For XHTML, Teslea has a different, very strict behaviour: it stops parsing a document when it encounters a well-formedness error. The motivation is to help XHTML to deploy in a clean way.

A: While the per user list price of Teslea is likely much lower than the cost of your clients' existing systems, that doesn't mean a lower total margin for you. Take a look at our TS Partner Sales Calculation for more information on sales margin. And remember, because Teslea is so affordable, customers have more budget for additional valuable services from you, like technical support, training and customization.
