All Implemented Interfaces:

java.lang.Runnable

public class WysiwygTemplate

extends TemplateProcessor

A template processor written for Cofax. It can also be re-used in other applications. It handles template files in a format called the "WYSIWYG Template format". Templates in this format are plain html files with comment tags indicating where the data is to be inserted. This is a simple to use yet powerful templating system that requires only html knowledge. Another feature of these templates is that they can be previewed in a browser and editing using any html editing tool. The name wysiwyg comes from the ability of being able to use dummy to get a realistic preview of what the pages that use this template will look like. Using this template system saves the philly.com and some other KnightRidder.com staff lots of time. Cofax separates design from content and programming.

There is no mention of the WysiwygTemplate class in CofaxServlet. TemplateProcessor classes are listed in the configuration.
