FP2000: When FrontPage Markup Component Writes To The HTML In Your Document (229435)

SUMMARY

When you use the HTML markup component, there are times when it will add HTML markup component spanning tags to your file, and times when it won't. This article describes the conditions under which the HTML markup component will write spanning tags to the HTML.

The HTML Markup spanning tag opens with the following code:

<!--webbot bot="HTMLMarkup" startspan -->

and the closes with the following code:

<!--webbot bot="HTMLMarkup" endspan -->

MORE INFORMATION

If the data within the component looks like a tag that FrontPage supports, the Markup component's spanning tags are written out. If you used the Markup component for a tag that FrontPage could have written by other means, you must have a reason for wanting the HTML markup syntax written out.

If the data within the component is multiple tags, or a combination of tags and data, then the Markup component's spanning tags are written out.

The HTML Markup component's startspan and endspan comments are not written out when the data within it looks like a comment or a single tag. For example

<!--comment-->

<test>

</test>

and possibly

<%asp%>
