wml::std::page - Standard HTML Page Header and Footer


NAME

wml::std::page - Standard HTML Page Header and Footer


SYNOPSIS

 <page [attributes]>
 [<page_end>]
 <head>...</head>
 <title>...</title>


DESCRIPTION

This include file provides the new <page> tag which is a advanced combination of the HTML <body> and <head> container tags. The idea is to provide complete header and footer tags via one single tag while providing new features like page indentation, easy title specification and setup of default values for the page colors.


ATTRIBUTES

title
This is a shorthand for the container tag <title>. The value of this attribute is placed in the <head> section of the page, surrounded with the <title> tag.

indent
This sets the indentation level of the page in units of <blockquote>'s. Default is no indentation. Setting indent to a value of N means the page is surrounded by N <blockquote>> tags. The attribute indent=1 or indent=2 usually provides the best readable layout.

background
This just corresponds to the same attribute of the <body> tag and sets the background image. This is per default not used.

bgcolor
This just corresponds to the same attribute of the <body> tag and sets the background color. Default is bgcolor="#ffffff" (white).

text
This just corresponds to the same attribute of the <body> tag and sets the text color. Default is text="#000000" (black).

link
This just corresponds to the same attribute of the <body> tag and sets the normal hyperlink color. Default is text="#333399" (medium blue).

alink
This just corresponds to the same attribute of the <body> tag and sets the color for activated hyperlinks. Default is text="#9999ff" (light blue).

vlink
This just corresponds to the same attribute of the <body> tag and sets the color for already visited hyperlinks. Default is text="#000066" (dark blue).

color
When setting color="none", the five previous attributes are not put into the <body> tag.

onload
This just corresponds to the same attribute of the <body> tag and sets a JavaScript even handler which is activated after page was loaded. This is per default not used.

info
This automatically puts a <info style=meta> tag into the <head> section of the page. See wml::std::info(3) for more details.

slices
This enables the creating of three slices: WML_STDPAGE_HEAD, WML_STDPAGE_BODY and WML_STDPAGE_FOOT. These can be used later in Pass 9 (Slice) for cutting out parts of the page.


OTHER COMMANDS

This module implements two new macros, called <title>...</title> and <head>...</head>. The first one defines the title of the page, and the second appends its body into the HEAD section of the HTML documents. Its main purpose is to add meta-tags, either directly or with the help of wml::std::info(3).
