Templating System

Converting to the Templating System from DPS


Because the tag handlers are defined differently, the new templating system is not compatible with the Dynamic Publishing System.

Installing the Templating System on the same server as DPS

It is possible to install the templating system on the same server as DPS. However, you will have to comment out all register_adptag statements in the Tcl library files associated with DPS.

Converting Specification files to Tcl scripts

The templating system distribution will include procedures for converting DPS specification files (.data and .form files) to Tcl scripts.

Converting ADP Templates

The templating system distribution will include a script for converting ADP templates with DPS tags. The main difference is the use of @...@ for variable substitution rather than var tags; multiple and if tags retain the same syntax.
