RTML

RTML, developed by Astro Physik, is a remarkably versatile program that falls under the Development Tools category and specifically caters to the Web Development subcategory. The latest version of RTML is 3.1, and it is packaged as htskapp.exe. This free software is available under a Freeware license, making it very accessible to a broad array of users. Remarkably, RTML is supported on Windows 7 systems, ensuring compatibility with a widely-used operating system.

Users looking to download RTML will be pleased to know that it facilitates the transparent use of remote and/or robotic telescopes. Initially developed by the Hands-On Universe Project (HOU) at the University of California at Berkeley, RTML has evolved and is now incorporated into commercial astronomy software, such as Bob Denny's ACP2 internet telescope package.

One noteworthy feature of RTML is its Twiki-Forum, which includes functionalities that allow users to parse the RTML Schema themselves. This functionality results from a finely-written package by Christian Hettlage. Those familiar with or searching for a robust XML dialect for astrophysical applications will find RTML to be a substantial asset in their toolkit.

Pros:

• Free to use under a Freeware license.
• Compatible with Windows 7.
• Features a Twiki-Forum for parsing RTML Schema, enhancing user interaction and functionality.
• Developed by a reputable developer (Astro Physik) and rooted in a well-established project (Hands-On Universe Project).
