WebMaker supports two kinds of users: the library user, and the WML configurer.
Library users can use RapidRules in conjunction with the WebMaker library of WML rules to quickly and conveniently convert documents to HTML. They can also compose WML files from scratch using the library WML rules. We believe that most WebMaker users fall into this category. The library users need to understand the following WML elements:
If, however, you want your document to appear differently than is possible to achieve with the libraries, you can be a WML configurer. The WML configurer defines new WML rules. Typically, the WML configurer duplicates a rule from one of the library of WML files, and modifies that rule. If you are a WML configurer, you need a complete understanding of WebMaker Language. In addition to the elements listed above, WML configurers need to understand the rest of the WML elements:
The distinction between these two types of users is for the purpose of discussion in this document only; your computer system probably does not distinguish between these two in any way.
