Producing HTML Documents with Scribe

9. Headers, Footers, and Addresses

Most HTML documents have a footer at the bottom to indicate authorship. In addition, you may want to put some sort of a header at the beginning of each HTML file. There are two strings that you may define the tell Scribe what to insert for headers and footers: HTMLheader and HTMLfooter. The definitions that were used for this document (assuming that you are viewing it with a WWW browser) are:

@string(htmlheader={@majorheading(@htag(IMG SRC=@quot(/digital/pics/logo.gif))

})

@string(HTMLfooter={@bar()
@address[Copyright (C) 1993, 1994 Digital Equipment Corporation]
@address(@urlref(url=/nsl/people/trewitt/bio.html,
text="Glenn Trewitt"), trewitt@pa.dec.com)
})

Note the @address command -- it marks the text with an <ADDRESS> tag.

Scribe page headings and footings are not relevant to the HTML device, because it is not paginated in the normal way. Therefore, the two mechanisms are completely independent.
