Element <htmlpft>

The <htmlpft> element is used to load, interpret, and format an external file that contains a mix of HTML code and ISIS formatting language (PFT).

It is frequently used to separate presentation logic (HTML templates) from script logic.

Actions

action="convert"

Converts an HTML with format specifications into a pure format. It does not interpret the final result, only shows the generated specification. Useful for debugging or dynamic format generation.

Examples

Basic Usage

Loads the file Test.htm, processes the PFT variables inside it, and sends it to the output.

<display>
   <htmlpft>
      <pft>cat('Test.htm')</pft>
   </htmlpft>
</display>

Format Conversion

Reads TEST.PFT and processes it as a converted template.

<display>
   <htmlpft action="convert">
      <pft>cat('TEST.HTML')</pft>
   </htmlpft>
</display>
