Syntax Desktop is a publishing system used to manage the contents of a Web site. Syntax Desktop project has an attractive GUI with DHTML elements.

You can use it to insert news, photos, documents, and tree data structures into your site. It features easy DB backup and style switching.

Syntax Desktop helps you to create and manage large web sites without any knowledge of HTML. There's an integrated WYSIWYG editor with a friendly user interface similar to common office applications. You can create the contents and a template engine manages all the parts of the site allowing complete control of the application.

Syntax Desktop is based on PHP technology. It is a web application, so it works on a wide range of modern existing IT infrastructures. Syntax Desktop runs with other "open source" technologies (i.e. Linux, Apache, MySQL), but it works also on commercial products (i.e. Windows, IIS, Oracle DB, MS Access).

Moreover, a great virtue of Syntax is its predisposition to being indexed from search engines. Syntax is constructed to generate pages optimized for search engines.

Requirements:
Server side

Webserver - Currently the application has been tested exclusively with Apache, but this does not imply that other webservers can work.
PHP - Tested with version 4
MySql - Tested with MySql database. Syntax it uses the AdoDB library, a layer that take care of the access to the db. This implies that also other types of database could work.
Is preferred the use of innoDb tables type enabling use the foreign keys.

Side client

Unfortunately syntax it works correctly only using Internet Explorer. The others browsers are never been tested completely. In the near future I will try to increase the compatibility.

What's New in This Release:
This release has more Firefox compatibility.
This is done by the FCKEditor upgrade (to version 2) and some CSS/HTML hacks.
The AdoDb Library has been updated to version 4.65.
Some user interface enhancements in the data tree structures.
A CSS file created by PHP.
Many bugfixes.
