Setting up the HTML File Wrapper

Generate the HTML code and place substitution tags where Smalltalk should provide output. The default substitution tag area is <% %>. Users can override the default substitution tag by changing the defaultStartMarker and defaultEndMarker variables of the AbtHtmlFileScanner class. For example:

AbtHtmlFileScanner 
    defaultStartMarker: '<:' ;
    defaultEndMarker:   ':>'.

When you generate the HTML file wrapper, the substitution area becomes a VisualAge Smalltalk attribute. For example:

<HTML>
<HEAD>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<%HelloText%>
<%VarText%>
</BODY>
</HTML>

When you generate the HTML file wrapper for the above HTML document, hello.htm, the resulting class contains two attributes, HelloText and VarText. You can override the default attribute names from the HTML File Wrapper Generator window.
