Webgen (tm) Data File


The Webgen (tm) compiler uses data file exported as a merge file as input to generate HTML pages.

The data file should be produced by exporting a database using the "Merge" data format.

The exported data file must contain the following fields:

serialNumber
a unique serial number for each record in the database. This field is used to identfy the data record and all the pages it generates.

templateType
the exact name of a Leaf Template which will be used to process the record.

All other fields of the database are translated into TCL variables so they may be accessed freely in the Leaf Template which generates the page.

Order doesn't matter at all in the exporting process, since the Merge data file format encodes the header order in the file.
