<MYTAG COLOR="$${clrBGColor}"$${Spacer}FACE="$${fontFace}

"$${Spacer}SIZE="$${txtSize}">

</TAGLAYOUT>

The template would generate a tag based on the following layout preference:

LINEAR:

NONLINEAR:

<MYTAG COLOR="White"

FACE="Arial"

SIZE="10">

Using TAGDATAUnknownAttributes

The TagDataUnknownAttributes tag contains the list of attributes that are contained

in the original tag string but are not supported by the editor. For example, you can

write an editor for the HTML tag

INPUT. You can provide editing capabilities for all

basic attributes, however the editor will not cover JavaScript event attributes (for

example, onCLick). In order not to lose these "unknown" attributes during the editing

process, the editor engine creates the

TAGDATAUnknownAttributes variable

containing a list of unknown attributes together with their original values. You can use

this variable to "stamp" all the unsupported attributes at the end of the tag you are

generating.

<MYTAG COLOR="$${colorBGColor}"

<WIZIF TAGDATAUnknownAttributes NEQ

""> $${TAGDATAUnknownAttributes}</WIZIF>>

</TAGLAYOUT>

If you edited a tag <MYTAG COLOR="Blue" onClick="CallThis">, the above template

would preserve the

onClick attribute despite the fact that it is not supported in the

editor. The editor is also intelligent enough to list the unknown attributes in a linear or

indented format based on a user’s layout preferences, as described in the previous

section.
