I don't know if any of you have played around with making it easier to
write HTML seeming at this point we need to use <TAGNAME> (that's
what I gathered from the replies). I tried something and it has made it
rather simple for me. Basically I put the major tags that I use into
variables, and just use concat and call the variables. Like this:
let $oTable := "<TABLE BORDER=0>"
let $cTable := "</TABLE>"
let $oTr := "<TR>"
let $cTr := "</TR>"
let $oTd := "<TD>"
let $cTd := "</TD>"
let $leftTd := "<TD VALIGN=TOP ALIGN=RIGHT>"
let $rightTd := "<TD VALIGN=TOP>"
let $pagehtml := concat(
$oTable,
$oTR,
$leftTd, "Title:",
$cTd,
$rightTd, $title,
$cTd,
$cTr,
$oTr,
$leftTd,
"Authors:", $cTd,
$rightTd, $authors,
$cTd,
$cTr,
$oTr,
$leftTd, "Ref:",
$cTd,
$rightTd, $ref,
$cTd,
$cTr,
$oTr,
$oTd, "Abstract:",
$cTd,
$oTd, $cTd,
$cTr,
$oTr,
"<TD
COLSPAN=2>", $newpage, $cTd,
$cTr,
$cTable
)
That way I could even format it kind of like I do HTML (with tabs
showing the outline of a tag and subtags). Hope this helps, or sparks
something interesting.
