Displaying Web content
You use Web content tags and placeholders within presentation
templates and element designs to display elements and metadata on a Web page.
- Using presentation templates
You use a presentation template define the layout of elements displayed on a Web page, and to define the default properties of a Web page such as the background and default font of a web page.
- Referencing elements
You use IBM® Lotus Web Content Management™ tags to reference elements within presentation templates.
- Displaying item details
You can display the attributes of items, such as the name and modified date, by using Web content tags.
- Writing links to Web Content Management content
Links to content items can be written as URLs.
- Generating a URL to a site, site area or content item
The URLCmpnt tag is used to generate a URL to a site, site area or content item.
- Contextual linking
Contextual linking is used in systems where content from one site is shared across multiple sites. When content is linked into a site, embedded links (link elements and links in HTML) will reference site the original content item is located in. Contextual linking is used so that when content is linked from another site, the link will be rendered relative to the current site if possible.
- Using custom caching
You can overrule the default caching parameters of a site by using "cache" and "expire" parameters in URLs and IBM Lotus Web Content Management tags.
- Using style sheets in items
Style sheets can be used to format the look and feel of IBM Lotus Web Content Management pages in the same way as normal Web Pages.
