Generating HTML Visualizations : Generating HTML tables with a custom tag : Using the <!--WSTAG--> custom tag
 

Using the <!--WSTAG--> custom tag

This is the default definition for the <!--WSTAG --> tag installed in tagmap.dat:
!--WSTAG,,,fill-in,web/support/tagrun.p
This is a good example of how you might define your own custom tags. At Web object generation time, the Progress® WebSpeed® Workshop associates the <!--WSTAG --> custom tag with a SpeedScript fill-in field. That is, a local variable (fill-in) appears in the Web object after an HTML file (that contains <!--WSTAG -->) has been opened and saved as a new Web object.
As with the other utility procedures in WebSpeed, at run-time, tagrun.p is run in combination with a few other procedures to dynamically generate an HTML table.
To use the <!--WSTAG --> custom tag in an HTML file, you must specify the NAME and FILE attributes in order to generate a table or other custom HTML output.
