GenerateURLTable

## ## generateurltable.wc ## ## This is a simple test page and documentation for the ## generateurltable.lc file. ## #localcode generateurltable.lc GenerateURLTable The GenerateURLTable function is used to take a prepared file and generate a table. Each line of the file contains fields separated by tabs. Each field may contain items which are expanded in the following ways:

Things which look like email addresses are turned into mailto links.
Things which look like URLs (e.g. http://mordred.ao.com/webc/) are turned into links.
Things which look like .jpg or .gif files, and that file exists, are turned into img src HTML.

To use this, you first must have the generateurltable.lc file in the current directory or in a directory which Webc searches. Then in your *.wc file, use the line: #define _LOCAL-CODE_ #localcode generateurltable.lc

    _LOCAL-CODE_

You can optionally define the way your table looks by defining the appropriate variable: #define _LOCAL-DEFINE_ #define _TABLE-PARAMS_ border=2

    _LOCAL-DEFINE_

Finally, in the place that you want the table to occur, you need to call the function:

#define	_FUNCTION-CALL_ #call GenerateURLTable filename
    _FUNCTION-CALL_

You can examine the sample data file for this example, and the way it looks here:

#define _TABLE-PARAMS_ border=2 #call GenerateURLTable generateurltable.sample

Empty lines, and lines starting with # are ignored. Fields are separated by one or more tabs.

If you have questions, stare hard at the examples and the code. Your answer should appear before your eyes.
