Output Templates for Windleafe

 

Projects in Windleafe need templates for output to be used.
This is loaded using the dialog for loading and arranging the template parts in Windleafe.

There are 3 basic parts needed

The output is generated using the 3 template parts for output, a Header before any record per file, the record template and a footer for the end of each file after the records are added.

Header

To be shown before any records, and used for each file if multiple files are being outputted.
For HTML, it is usually everything up to the section that will be repeated.
For other types of output formats, it is basically the same idea, everything up to the point before the repeating record section which may be header names, or formatting.

Record

For every data record, row or file, this template is repeatedly used to create the output.
This is the only part that is really needed if there is no need for any content before or after.

Footer

This is used at the end of the output, or the end of each file.
For HTML, it’ll be the closing and footer tags and anything to show after all the records.
For other types of output formats, it is basically the same idea, everything after the repeating record section which may be footer details, some text or just a completion line, if anything.
