Web

With the Designer you can create one or more Web templates and merge the template with a data set to generate personal web pages.

The Web context is the Web output channel and the folder in the Designer that can contain one or more Web templates. CaptureOnTheGo templates are a special kind of Web templates. They are stored in the Web folder as well.

The Web context outputs one HTML web page that contains the HTML text and all the resources necessary to display it. JavaScript files are added to the <head> in the generated HTML file. They are useful to add special features such as those offered by jQuery and its plugins, or MooTools. Style sheets are also added to the <head> and are used just as they would be used in a regular web page.

It is advisable to follow design guidelines for web pages, so that they are likely to look good in different browsers and on different devices and screen sizes. When you start with a Web Template Wizard, the Foundation framework is added to the template, to guarantee just that; see Creating a Web template with a Wizard and Capture OnTheGo template wizards.

When a Web template is created, either with a Wizard or by adding the Web context to an existing template (see Adding a context), the Web context folder is created along with other files that are specific to an Web context; see Web Context.

Many of the content elements that are available for all three contexts are particularly suitable for web pages; see Content elements. Web templates are personalized just like any other template; see Variable Data.

Only one Web section is created at the start, but you can add as many Web sections as you need; see Web pages. Note that when the Designer merges a data set to generate output from the Web context, it can merge only one of the templates with each record; see Generating Web output.
