WebCD Globe Ignoring HTML in the WebCD Packager Process


If necessary, you can instruct WebCD Packager to ignore certain HTML statements within an HTML file. This is accomplished by placing any HTML you want WebCD Packager to ignore between the following tags:

<!-- WCD_IGNORE-->
HTML to ignore
<!-- /WCD_IGNORE -->

Any text between these two tags will be retrieved verbatim, that is, WebCD Packager will not fix up any HTML statements that are between these two tags. This feature allows you to directly reference items on the CD and bypass the WebCD Packager "fixing up links" step. For example, if you are including your own customized Startup Page, you may want to jump to the WebCD Home Page from the Startup Page. In this case you would include the following text in the HTML file you are creating as your startup page:

<!--WCD_IGNORE -->
<A HREF="../home.htm"> Home </A>
<!-- /WCD_IGNORE -->

The "../home.htm" link moves up one directory level and looks for a file called home.htm. This will work since the home.htm file is always located in the Docs subdirectory, and the startup page will be retrieved into one of the Docs subdirectories.
