The dummy file

As I've already written in the previous page the dummy file is used to set the general layout.

Let's look at an example (agian of these pages):

<body background="#FFFFFF">

This will be important for you: Don't any html header as it will be automatically generated!

<table border="0" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0" width="100%">
<tr>
  <td width="5%" rowspan="6"> </td>
  <td height="20"> </td>
  <td width="5%" rowspan="6"> </td>
</tr>

<tr>
  <td width="90%" align="right"><!--menu--></td>
</tr>

Ok, the first linesn here are boring: They only define space from the window border and the content. But the line with  is important:
Here will the menu inserted by makeHTML.

Please not also an important fact already: The makeHTML tags are completly html comments which are replaced later. This gives you the possibility to watch the content files as like as normal HTML code.

<tr>
  <td height="10"> </td>
</tr>

<tr>
  <td>
<!--content-->
  </td>
</tr>

Ok, and here again such a syntax. But this one will include the content of the file at it's place.

<tr>
  <td height="10"> </td>
</tr>

<tr>
  <td>
  <hr>
  <font face="Arial, Helvetica" size="-1">
  <center>
  example pages for <a href="http://www.theofel.de/oss/makehtml.html">makeHTML</a>, written by <a href="mailto:jan@theofel.de">Jan Theofel</a><br>
  This is public domain. You may use and modify it to your needs.
  </center>
  </font>
  </td>
</tr>
</table>

This is only the rest of the file - only to be complete.

Please note also something other: There is no default font set for the content. This has it's reason... you'll find out on the next page .
