Abstract:
 Creation of large and complex World Wide Web sites is hampered by the "page at
 a time" approach of many tools and the programming knowledge and custom
 software development required for automated solutions.  This report describes
 the development of the Automatic Site Markup Language (ASML).  ASML is a new
 markup language designed to produce large, complicated web sites which can
 include dynamic content.   ASML extends HTML with new, high-level features
 while still preserving complete compatibility with common browser and server
 technologies.  It has powerful indexing and searching facilities, and enables
 the automatic translation of document formats.  Most importantly, ASML provides
 HTML-like features at the site level rather than just the page level
