This part of the documentation is intended for anyone who creates and
publishes web pages using a
Roxen WebServer. It describes the functionality
Roxen WebServer provides that can be used to automate and ease the creation of
both advanced static content as well as dynamic Internet applications.
Most of Roxen WebServer's functions are available as RXML tags,
easily learned by anyone who knows HTML, XHTML or XML. A basic introduction
is provided but the reader is encouraged to obtain more knowledge from
other sources, should this information be new.
The manual is structured into four different parts. First is the introductionary
part, which you have just entered, that outlines different technologies and
concepts important for creating websites with Roxen products. After the general
introductions follows a closer look at Roxen specific technologies with the main
focus on RXML, including the uses of RXML and the syntax and semantics of the
RXML language. The third part of the manual is a reference part which lists and
describes all user tags. The list is grouped by the different tags general application
so that it should be easy to find a tag in a solution-centric approach. Several
reference chapters starts out with a closer look at some common properties of the
tags in the group. The last chapter is an alphabetical list of all user tags.
The Manual Source
The reference documentation found in this manual is directly derived from the
documentation in the source code of Roxen WebServer and its modules. The purpose
of this approach is to get the documentation as close to the actual implementation
so that is should be as easy as possible to keep it up to date. The big benefit
of having the documentation in the source code is possibility to online documentaion
within the product. All tag documentation found in this manual is available through
the <help> tag as well as the documentation tab in the
adminstration interface.
If you want to know more about a tag when you are developing a web page, simply
add the <help> tag to a page and view it to see the
latest documentation for that tag. Note that the module in which the tag is defined must
be loaded into the server in order for this feature to work. The online documentation
feature is however not restricted to only modules originating from Roxen Internet Software.
Any third party or locally developed modules containing a compatible documentation may
be viewed by the online documentation feature.
