FormDec v0.00
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is alpha-test software. It is being released
with FetchMail as it may well be useful to somebody.
This software decodes 'form' output. It works ONLY
with the Argonet form "/cgi-bin/mail".
NOTE: IT DOES NOT HANDLE TEXTAREAS VERY WELL.
To use, simply design yourself a template called
"myform" in the file "myform".
When data is to be inserted, enter the element name
within wibbly brackets {likethis}. It IS case
sensitive.
For text areas, each line will be placed in
base_icon + line_count. Therefore only the FIRST
line of a textarea should be given an ID. Following
lines should be numbered sequentially. It is wise,
at this time, to add another line off-screen for
overflow.
Each line for input should be indirected text.
All of these principles will be visible in the
system as supplied - it is set up to decode the
form on my WWW site. Indeed, an example form is
supplied in FetchMail so you can have a play.
Remember, TEXTAREA handling is a bit flakey, and
nothing is done about 'special' characters.
