Thot offers the usual functionality of a word processor, but it also processes the document structure. It includes a large set of advanced tools, such as a spell checker and an index generator, and it allows to export documents to common formats like HTML and LaTeX. This release should be considered as a snapshot of a work in progress. A large part of the intended features of Thot Editor are implemented, but some of them are not complete yet and the software is not supposed to be very robust. The user interface may change and can be improved. For documentation, please see the homepage. WWW: http://opera.inrialpes.fr/Thot.en.html
