Nodes can be searched using storable queries . Wildcards, Boolean connectives, and proximity criteria are supported. A KWIC hit list is presented. Strangely, this list does not indicate the name of the file in which the occurrence was found. It is unlikely that the first build will produce reasonable results.
Anchors can be in either text or graphics, and appear as boxes or a specified colour.
Command links may be used to launch other applications. Text fonts can be customized, graphics can be shown at different scales, an index entry may be expanded to show a KWIC list, and table of contents entries act as expansion links. Annotations and bookmarks are supported. Up to 3,500 text nodes and 3,500 graphics nodes may be included in a single book. SmarText books may be compiled into a single file for distribution.
