E

The E tag is used to define elements within a category tree.

Location

This tag can occur only within a CAT tag in a Tag Chooser or Expression Builder definition file.

Function

The E tag is used to define elements within a category.

In the Tag Chooser (MarkUpTags.vtm) these elements are definitions for Tags; tags are indeed called Elements in the HTML standards.

The elements can also be Expression Elements in the Expression Builder (ExpressionElements.vtm) that are part of a programming or scripting language. See the documentation for the CAT tag for how to make these language elements more accessible by CATegorizing them.

Syntax and Attributes

<E .../>
CAPTION The caption of the element.
TYPE Function Insight: If defined, value must be "function". Use only for an element that describes a function in Expression Builder (ExpressionElements.vtm). Its presence enables Function Insight for the function defined here.
VALUE

Tag Chooser: This value represents the tag string pasted when the tag is selected. If a visual editor exists for the tag an incomplete tag string should be used to invoke the editor. For example, VALUE="<MYTAG"; would invoke the visual tag editor for MYTAG stored in MYTAG.VTM.

Expression Builder: This value represents the syntax of the expression element to be pasted into the expression textbox.

DESC The contents of the HTML help for the element. Notice that the HELPFILE attribute can be used to specify the help as a separate file.
