There are four panels:

Drop-In panel display
This panel contains a large text area. It plays two roles:
- As a file drop target.
Dropping an HTML file into this area has the same effect as using the File>Open Html menu command and selecting your source file through the displayed dialog. Dropping the file is the more convenient method. Important Note: The drop target feature is not available while running under Linux.
- As viewer area
that contains the report of the last slicing operation. Once you do File>Slice Html, you will see the text area being filled with step-by-step report as the slicing and TOC operation is progressing. You can view the text to check if any problem had occurred. The same text and some extra information (See Generated Report File) are saved as a text file (JHSplitterLog.txt) in the same directory as your source file.

Slice Setup panel display
This panel contains two panes:
- Slice at
pane: It contains three radio buttons; each one corresponds to a heading level. The selected one specifies that the source HTML file will be segmented at its heading of the specified level and higher (ex. If <H2> Heading is selected, the cleavage points are at <H1> and <H2> headings).
- Naming
pane: Only one radio button is enabled (Heading Title with Number).
- Lowercase Names
checkbox: If checked, all HTML files created by HTMLslicer will have names that contain lowercase letters only.
- Page Extension
text field: Contains the specified name extension for all HTML files created by HTMLslicer. If no name extension is given or if the extension does not start by a dot, then the ".htm" extension is used.
Note: The name of each segment is based from its heading title, and to avoid potential name conflicts with other segments, a unique number might be appended. If you have a sub-heading called "Introduction" under many main headings, you will get "Introduction.htm" for the first file and "Introduction1.htm" for the second file and "Introduction2.htm for the third file, etc. To generate the related file name, the under-stroke character replaces spaces, punctuation, non-letter and non-numeral characters found in the related heading title. For example, a segment with its main header title "Top & Bottom" will be found in a resulting HTML file named "Top___Bottom.htm" (with three consecutive under-strokes).

TOC Setup panel display
This panel contains three items:
- JavaHelp metadata
checkbox: If checked, the application will create the necessary files required for integrating the resulting HTML files into a JavaHelp system of your Java application. Very convenient for a Java programmer who wants to integrate his or her application to its documentation as a help system.
- Create TOC.htm
checkbox: If checked, the application will create a TOC.htm file that contains a list of all your generated files, each file being identified by its main heading title. Each item of the list hyperlinks to the related file.
- Template =
text field: This text field contains the file name of the TOC template.

Style Setup panel display
This panel contains four combined items (check box with its related text field):
- Body Template
: It determines which template to use as the unchanging HTML form (the body template) that will surround the segment part of each resulting HTML page. Your own source file is used as a template if the checkbox is unchecked (See Concepts). If checked but with an empty text field, a common template is used (it is located at the application directory: the BodyTemplate.htm file). If the field contains a text, the text corresponds to the name of a file located in your source document directory that will be used as a body template.
- Header Template
: It determines which template to use for generating a header part; it will be placed just above the segment part of your resulting HTML page. Such a template contains variables that will provide for "Next", "Previous", "TOC" and "Home" hyperlinks. If unchecked, no header is generated. If checked but with an empty text field, a common template is used (it is located at the application directory: the HeaderTemplate.txt file). If the field contains a text, the text corresponds to the name of a file located in your source document directory that will be used as a header template.
- Footer Template
: It determines which template to use for generating a footer part; it will be placed just below the segment part of your resulting HTML page (or below the sub-TOC footer part, if requested for). Such a template contains variables that will provide for "Next", "Previous", "TOC" and "Home" hyperlinks. If unchecked, no footer is generated. If checked but with an empty text field, a common template is used (it is located at the application directory: the FooterTemplate.txt file). If the field contains a text, the text corresponds to the name of a file located in your source document directory that will be used as a footer template.
- Transition Template:
It determines which template to use for generating a sub-TOC footer part; it will be placed just below the segment part of your resulting HTML pages if at least one following page corresponds to a lower header. Such a page contains a table of contents of those pages. Such template contains variables that will provide hyperlinks for the following pages with a lower-level header. If unchecked, no sub-TOC is generated. If checked but with an empty text field, a common template is used (it is located at the application directory: the TransitionTemplate.txt file). If the field contains a text, the text corresponds to the name of a file located in your source document directory that will be used as a transition template.
