DESCRIPTION

This include file defines some standard support tags one needs all the time. All tags are self-explanatory and briefly mentioned in wml_intro(1), except the last two which are described below.

<javascript>:

This tag was primarily a shorthand for "<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript">" but it has evolved. If the "<head>" tag is defined and is a complex macro, e.g. when calling "wml::std::page", then Javascript code is automatically passed to this macro and should be diverted to the HEAD section of HTML documents. This diversion preserve lang slices in multi-lingual documents. Those features may be disabled by the ``nohead'' and ``nolang'' attributes.

<sync-lines>:

WML tries to print information on input file and line numbers when warnings or errors are reported in passes 2 and 3. Some special sentences containing file names and line numbers are inserted during pass 1. So pass 2 have an accurate knowledge of where warnings appear in input file. But it also filters it without preserving lines, so after pass 2 information is almost unusable. By putting "<sync-lines>" in input file, it forces pass 2 to resynchronize information on line numbers. So for debugging pass 3, it could be of some help to insert "<sync-lines>" before ePerl code.
