Abstract
A system and method for providing web links based on the content of text to thereby create a web site with appropriate web links (hot links) imbedded in the web site. An application program reviews the text of the web site, preferably during the process of creating HTML code and determines and displays possible hot links which can be embedded into the application for an individual such as the web site creator to determine whether or not to include a hot link as suggested by the application. Several different hot links may be determined which are appropriate and one or more may be inserted into the application. Links are created based on capitalization, a corporation-indicating word and/or trademark or trade name indication, either alone or based on historical information of past web site links or text for which no web site was used.

6. A system which creates at least part of the code for a web page having integrated hot links from a text, the system comprising:
-
an editing system which creates software implementing a web page including the text;
a dictionary of common language words;
a parser for separating the text into words;
a comparator which is coupled to the dictionary and the parser compares at least some of the words in the text with the dictionary of common language words and determines which words are not included in the dictionary;
a system which determines web pages which are associated with a word which is in the text but which are not included in the dictionary;
a system which presents to a reviewer a word which is in the text but which is not in the dictionary along with at least one associated web page if one has been determined to be associated with the word; and
a system which allows the reviewer to include in the web page an integrated hot link to a web page which is associated with the word. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)

14. A system which creates at least part of the code for a web site comprising:
-
a parser which separates text into words and phrases;
a system which compares the words and phrases with entries for which a web site is available and generates an output indicating one or more web site associated with one of the words and phrases;
a system which receives a user input indicating whether a web site should be associated with a word or phrase and which one or more of the web sites should be associated with the word and phrase; and
an editing system which generates a web site for the text which includes a hotlink for the web site(s) indicated by the user input.

a program component which seeks to locate one or more web sites for the identified portions of text;
a program component which displays the one or more located web sites which are associated with an identified portion of the text;
a program component which responds to a user input to select whether to include a web site and, if more than one web site is identified, to select which web site or web sites will be included; and
a program component which creates a web site based on the text and includes a hot link to the one or more web sites which were selected by the user. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 35, 36, 37, 38)
