Description (short): HTML generation commands,
Written by: Andreas Kupries
Description: Helper procedures to facilitate multipage generation of HTML Redirection of output into a string is possible too. Is built on top of the cgi library by Don Libes.
Depends on: Tcl, cgi
See also: Cgi tools Usage
Keywords: HTML generation, multipage HTML, string HTML, cgi

::pool::cgi::closePage ()

Closes the current output file and switches back to the normal mode of HTML generation.

::pool::cgi::closeString ()

Returns the HTML code stored in the currently active string buffer. Pops off one level of redirection afterward.

Returns: The HTML code stored in the currently active stringbuffer.

::pool::cgi::getString (script)

Wrapper to ::pool::cgi::openString and ::pool::cgi::closeString. Ensures correct nesting of these procedures.

Argument: script Tcl code to evaluate, should contain cgi commands producing HTML code. Nested 'getString' calls are possible.

Returns: The HTML code produced by script.

::pool::cgi::openPage (file)

Opens the file for writing and sets up everything required to redirect generated HTML code into it.

Argument: file Name of the file to write into.

::pool::cgi::openString ()

Activates redirection of HTML output into a stringbuffer. A stack of such buffers is managed to allow for multiple redirections.

::pool::cgi::putsFile (args)

This is a replacement procedure for 'cgi_puts' as contained in cgi library (by Don Libes). This version allows generation of more than one page.

Argument: args as accepted/required by the builtin 'puts'.

::pool::cgi::putsString (args)

This is a replacement procedure for 'cgi_puts' as contained in cgi library (by Don Libes). This version writes the HTML code into a string which then can be retriieved later.

Argument: args as accepted/required by the builtin 'puts'.
