System Template
From EtelligentWiki
A System Template is an HTML file containing certain proprietary Etelligent codes that defines at a very basic level the structure of a Document (Email or WebPage). The System Template defines the Regions of a document, and their relationship to one another. More information about the structure can be found on the Document Structure page.
It is the main function of the System Template to allow a designer to define this structure. At this point we are not concerned with the content of the document simply layout at a very low level.
This is an example of a System Template for a simple Header, Body and Footer vertical stack design:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"> <html> <head> <title>__title__</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<meta name="keywords" content="__keyWords__"> <meta name="description" content="__description__">
</head>
<body __background__> __page_ID__ __versionPoint__ __pageType_ID__
--Header-- --Body-- --Footer--
</body> </html>
The above example can be copied and edited as required. The syntax for defining the regions is:
--RegionName--
When name of the region must use only alphanumeric characters (no spaces), and the chosen name must be surrounded by double hyphens.
Because Etelligent has reserved the use of double-hyphens to name regions it means that you cannot put comments into the system template; Etelligent would interpret the comments as region names,
