Creating HTML

The "HTML" tab of any design template can be used to set up the template's structure.

The first step in using the "HTML" tab is to paste the HTML code corresponding to the desired design that you have created externally.

Once pasted, you can insert aml and system tags in order to indicate where you would like particular aspects of a page to appear within the context of the design.

Examples of such tags include:

  • sys:content - the content created within the CMS for a page using this template will appear in the location at which this tag is entered
  • sys:caption - the title specified upon a page's creation (which can be found in the CMS "Menu" tab) will appear in the location at which this tag is entered
  • sys:summary - the description entered upon a page's creation (also found in the CMS "Menu" tab) will appear in the location at which this tag is entered
  • sys:menu - this tag is used to create a navigation menu at the location in which the tag has been entered
  • sys:menu-caption-parent - the menu item name of the parent page of a page using this template will appear in the location at which this tag is entered
  • sys:menu-image-by-level - this tag allows you to generate an image at the location in which this tag is entered, using the name of an ancestor page at some specified level
  • sys:menu-image-id - this tag allows you to generate an image at the location in which this tag is entered, using the ID number of the current page
  • sys:menu-image-parent-id - this tag allows you to generate an image at the location in which this tag is entered, using the ID number of the current page's parent page
  • sys:lang-selector - this tag generates a list of all available languages for users to choose from in viewing a page's content
  • sys:variable - this tag allows you to insert and change localized plain text or XHTML content on pages in every location throughout the website where the tag has been entered
  • sys:page - this tag allows you to insert the content of some other page into a page using this template
  • sys:site-path - this tag generates a list of the names of the current page and its ancestor pages in order to create a site path
  • aml:default-title - should a page using this template not have a meta data title, this tag provides a default title to be used in its place
  • aml:default-description - should a page using this template not have a meta data description, this tag provides a default one to be used instead
  • aml:default-keywords - should a page using this template not have meta data keywords, this tag will cause default keywords to be used in their place
  • aml:move-to - this tag allows you to move a block of XML data to another location within a page using this template
  • aml:target - this tag specifies the location that a block of XML data should be moved to when using the aml:move-to tag
