- HtmlParse v1.10
- © Chris Rutter 1997
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- 0. Important notice for users of HtmlParse v1.09b or earlier
-
- Please note the following changes:
-
- * the </head> tag is no longer added after the title
- * the opening <html> and <head> tags are no longer inserted
- * you no longer need to use ## except at the beginning of a line
-
- which means that you must create a file called "Preamble" containing the
- following:
-
- <!doctype html public "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2//EN">
- <html><head>
-
- (with no new-line after <head>), and reference it in the [Scaffold]
- section as
-
- Preamble=<your preamble file>
-
- Then, you must go into all your header files, and add an extra
-
- </head>
-
- to the top. Finally, you must search for all the occasions on which
- you have used "##" to insert a "#" character into the output, and the
- first "#" is not at the beginning of a line, and replace it with a
- single "#". It's very unlikely anyone would want to insert a "#" character
- at the beginning of a line, anyway.
-
- 1. Overview
-
- HtmlParse is a system designed to save time when managing a web site.
- It provides loads of useful commands and utilities that make the job of
- creating consistent page headers/footers and links easy, and more.
-
- The manual is currently availble in TeX format only.
-
- Note that for the TeX version of the manual, a ready-processed DVI file
- is included, but DVIview 1.02 or later is needed to view the diagrams
- contained within the DVI file.
-
- The currently working installation *really is* a beta. It will be
- extended to work on Unix boxes, and also to have several new and
- useful features (check out the ‘future features’ section of the full
- documentation).
-
- 2. Invoking HtmlParse
-
- Set script files to type 109 and HtmlParse will automatically run them if
- it has been ‘seen’ by the filer. The recommended structure of a web site
- for use with HtmlParse is similar to
-
- Files (or some other suitable name)
- |
- | - RunScript (an obey file which sets up a path called WWWRoot$Path)
- | - Script (the script file itself, type 109)
- | - ControlTxt (the ALT= tag text for controls)
