5.1 - Existent problems independent of HTML

1. Sequential processing of paragraphs

   WebMaker minimises the amount of document contents in memory at any point in time. This is done to guarantee that large documents may be reliably translated even on machines with few resources. The drawback is that WebMaker cannot look too far ahead to try and determine whether to close or open environments. Because of this some complex HTML constructs cannot be mapped onto. A refinement of this scheme is under way.

2. Text in graphics

   Due to difference in resolution between the printed page and the computer screen, text in graphics is often unreadable. As a temporary solution WebMaker offers the option to scale up the size of translated graphics.

3. Graphics imported by reference in FrameMaker documents

   Currently WebMaker is translating these in the same way as other graphics. However the author should have the option to not change the original graphic file and just add a link pointing to it from the appropriate place in the generated Web.
