ABSTRACT:
The methodology used converts non-HTML softcopy documents to HTML formatted documents based on examination of hypertext link entry points. To resolve these links, the invention interrogates the non-HTML formatted texts for hypertext links, verifies that the links are still valid (determines whether the to-be-linked-to topic, document or reference still exists) and constructs HTML link anchors. After all non-HTML links are resolved (i.e., converted to HTML, verified, and HTML anchors constructed), the entire topic or accessed portion of a requested document or topic text is formatted into HTML text and hypertext links. The most common entry point for beginning he conversion process is the table of contents. This usually provides numerous hypertext entry points to other topics contained in the work. Links can exists at any spot in the work. They are not limited to topic links only.
