Yew typesetting system

by Indricotherium Labs

Yew typesetting system displays content of an article or any HTML document in a column layout – like in paper magazines.

Narrow columns similar to those in newspapers mean better readability of text. Single click paging is more comfortable than scrolling in a browser window.

Yew is integrated by an unobtrusive way just by linking JavaScript to the page and defining a destination for typesetting. Yew takes the document and gives it a new look with as many columns as possible to show.

Yew is tested on all common browsers (IE, Mozilla, Safari). If JavaScript is disabled – text is displayed with no change.
