The CDML Tool
The CDML Tool, located in the Web Tools folder, interacts between
open FileMaker Pro databases and HTML editing applications to help
you construct format files quickly and accurately.
Use the CDML Tool to:
1 start a format file using basic templates that contain step-by-step
instructions (Templates tab)
1 copy and paste CDML tags to format files (Tags tab)
The CDML Tool links open FileMaker Pro databases with HTML
editing applications.
Follow these general steps to create a format file using the CDML Tool:
1. Open and share your FileMaker Pro database using Web Companion
sharing.
2. From the Web Tools folder, open the CDML Tool.
3. Click the Templates tab and choose the database and layout names.
4. Open an HTML editing application.
5. From the Templates tab of the CDML Tool, copy a template from the
Format File (Action) list.
6. Paste the template text into a blank HTML editing document.
7. From the Tags tab of the CDML Tool, copy and paste additional
CDML tags into the appropriate location in the format file.
Create one format file to handle each database activity.
