Hypertext functionalities represent a form of the distilled wisdom of the hypermedia community. Even if they were introduced and advocated already in the pre-Web era, most of these functionalities are absent in current Web browsers. However, such functionalities can be very useful in some specific applicative fields, like for instance browsing complex software engineering documents, using standard WWW components. We propose to exploit the advent of XML as a basic infrastructure for describing software engineering hypertexts. In fact, we describe XMLC, a prototype of an XML browser that, given its modular architecture and general scope, can be seen as the basis for implementing sophisticated hypertext functionalities for software engineering documentation to be maintained and browsed on the Web.
