Edit View: Edit A Page Template

Description

This view allows you to edit the template's text, upload new text, or change the content type and title of the template.

Template Text

The text in a template must be well-formed HTML if the content type is text/html. Otherwise, it must be well-formed XML. Either way, it may include TAL or METAL markup containing TALES expressions.

Controls

Title

Allows you to specify the Zope title of the template.

Content-Type

Allows you to specify the content-type that will be given to renderings of this template. Also, if the content type is text/html (the default) then the template is assumed to contain HTML, not XML. This affects both parsing and rendering of the template, and can be overridden by giving the template an is_html property. In HTML mode you don't need to explicitly declare tal and metal XML namespaces. In XML mode you must explicitly declare tal and metal XML namespaces, and Zope assumes that your template contains well-formed XML.

Expand macros when editing

Allows you to turn the expansion of METAL macros on or off. This only affects viewing of the source code, not rendering.

Buttons and Other Form Elements
