Coding HTML directly
In some situations, you might want your page to use HTML extensions that are not directly supported by the Web Connection parts. You can do this by using literal text. To use this feature, follow these steps:
1. Add a Text part at the point in your page where you want the HTML coding to occur.
2. Set the literal property of the Text part to true.
3. In the object property, specify the HTML tagging you want to use.
Any text that you set as literal will be passed to the client browser exactly as you enter it. This means that you can enter HTML tags into the text part, and these will be sent inline with the HTML generated by the rest of the page. In this way, you can directly code any HTML extensions that you want to use; you can also implement paragraphs of text with complex formatting in a single Text part.
However, remember that any HTML tags that you code directly with literal text will not be rendered graphically in the Composition Editor. Instead, you will see the HTML tags as text, exactly as you entered them. As always, to see the final result, you must test your application with a Web browser.
