Tinderbox is the place for formal emergence, a DIY environment that promises to produce deeper insight into your own ideas by forcing you to invent the in-forming and relational elements from scratch. Less is more when it comes to free-form writing and structuring.

But when it comes time to export, this liberating emptiness becomes a serious impediment. Unless you have lots to time to code your own export system from scratch, you will have to use the built-in HTML export template, HTML page. The results are not even usable for proofreading since heading levels cannot be distinguished, and Basic Links (the ones you drag) export properly only for the topmost note. To be fair, it is not meant for actual use, only as a proof-of-concept. Still, someone may actually use it an expect good results. BoxPress fills the Tinderbox export gap by functioning as a generic universal Tinderbox export system, or GUTES for all your Tinderbox projects.

But BoxPress is much more than just a webpage factory—it is also a uniquely inspiring writing environment. With 58 macros to embed anything you can imagine into your text flow; 10 content prototypes for books, articles, quotes, people, events, and more (each with its own display and export scheme); 33 stamps that arrange do everything from setting the Key Attributes Table for all notes, toggling SmartExpression segments, restoring defaults—and even arranging your notes into an OutMap that you can stylize via control panel—BoxPress will revolutionize your writing experience. BoxPress will even convert your Map Views into fully functional HTML Imagemaps. But best of all are the plethora of Popup options that give you instant and effortless control over every aspect of your export. BoxPress gives you more formal control over layout, structure, and granularity than any other system on the market, including Scrivener.
