User Interface

The Hyperlyn user interface is simple and intuitive.

Main Window

The Navigator is the pane on the left-hand side of the window where you can find the list of Websites you have defined so far. The Inspector is the pane on the right-hand side of the window where you can find information and properties for the item currently selected in the project. Both of these panes can be collapsed in order to leave more space for the area in the middle, the Website Details.
