Introduction
With the procedure table load(), B4P loads complete complete HTML files in a similar way as XML files. The entire HTML file will be put into a structured table. The table will contain following header names:
| HTML Level | Nesting level. Begins with 1 |
| HTML Tag | Applied tag. E.g. <Country>; puts "Country" into a new row at column "XML Tag". |
| HTML Usage | <Country> specifies "Start", </Country> specifies "End", and <Country/> specifies "Empty". |
| HTML Contents | Payload contents following the tag. E.g. <Country>UK<Country/> specifies "UK". Note: All ine breaks are included in the contents. |
| HTML Attributes | Lists all attribute names (but not the values) referenced in the XML tag |
| Additional columns: Atribute names | The table gets additional columns with header names corresponding to the identified attribute names. Whenever attributes are specified in the tags, then the attribute values are listed below these headers. |
table load( t, "Examples\Example.html", TEXT );
echo("This is the HTML file:");
table list( t );
table load( t, "Examples\Example.html", FULL HTML );
echo; echo;
echo("This are the loaded contents from the HTML file:");
table list( t );
This is the HTML file:
