#Layout

Use the "%LAYOUT" tag to change the overall formatting for the page(s). Several
switches are available:

=  %LAYOUT cover

Suppresses the page footer and indexing. Useful for {#cover pages#cover.html#}
where administrative data at the bottom of the page is unnecessary.

=  %LAYOUT print

Suppresses question feedback, navigation links, counter, and the table of
contents for the page. This is useful when you want to "{#pretty
print#otherpp.html#}" the page on paper.

+Paragraphs may be {#selectively suppressed for printing#page.html#PLUS#} by
marking them with a leading plus sign (+). For example, this paragraph does not
appear when the {#print layout#otherpp.html#} is specified.

=  %LAYOUT slide

Create {#presentation slides#slides.html#} based on the headings in the document.

=  %LAYOUT review

Create review questions using {#quizCGI#quizCGI.html#}.

=  %LAYOUT feedback

Create online tests with feedback using {#quizCGI#quizCGI.html#}.

=  %LAYOUT results

Create online tests with results but no feedback using {#quizCGI#quizCGI.html#}.

=  %LAYOUT noresults

Create online tests without results or feedback using {#quizCGI#quizCGI.html#}.

=  %LAYOUT default

Override layout tags and return to default settings.

%%=  %LAYOUT keyword
%%
%%Identifies a page that contains {#keyword index#keywords.html#} terms.
%%
%%=  %LAYOUT noindex
%%
%%Identifies a page that should be excluded from {#keyword
%%indexing#keywords.html#}.

#Dates

MTX automatically adds an update date to the bottom of each page. You have the
option of adding a creation date and an expiration date using the "%CREATED"
and "%EXPIRES" tags respectively. If you provide a creation date the update date
will become the modification date.

Use the "%CREATED" tag to stamp the page with a creation date:

=  %CREATED July 27, 1996

Use the "%EXPIRES" tag to stamp the page with a expiration date:

=  %EXPIRES July 27, 1996

The expiration date also controls access to {#online tests#quizcgi.html#EXPIRE#}.

#Colors

The "%COLORS" tag allows you to change the {#text and background
colors#http://home.netscape.com/assist/net_sites/bg/index.html#} for the page.
Colors are represented by a pound sign (#) and three red/green/blue hexadecimal
digits (black is #000000 and white is #FFFFFF). You can set up to five of the
following:

	BGCOLOR - Background color
	TEXT - Text color
	LINK - Link color
	ALINK - Active link highlight color
	VLINK - Visited link color

For example:

=  %COLORS BGCOLOR=#40FF40 TEXT=#FFFFFF LINK=#0102FF VLINK=#0102FF

[{#3.2#current.html#}]

#Watermark

The "%WATERMARK" tag allows you to add a {#watermark graphic#otherbg.html#} to
the page instead of the solid color background:

=  %WATERMARK mtxbg

[{#3.2#current.html#}]

#Abstract

The "%ABSTRACT" tag allows you to attach a description to your pages using an
HTML "meta" tag. Certain on-line search services, such as {#Alta
Vista#http://www.altavista.digital.com/#}, use this information as a preferred
abstract of your document. The abstract should be one or more concise sentances.

=  %ABSTRACT This page describes certain page tags used by MTX.

#Keywords

The "%KEYWORDS" tag allows you to attach keywords to your pages using an HTML
"meta" tag. Certain on-line search services, such as {#Alta
Vista#http://www.altavista.digital.com/#}, use these words as preferred index
terms. Words and phrases should be separated by commas.

=  %KEYWORDS page layout, watermark, colors, expiration date

#Base

The "%BASE" tag is similar to the "%PATH" tag and is used to specify the
permanent location for the page. This is useful when the page is copied, saved
to disk, or printed on paper. A reference to the original document will appear
in the page footer. Specify the path {*without*} the file name, MTX will add
it automatically to make a complete URL. It also adds a <BASE> tag to the HTML
header. This is useful if you distribute the page to multiple sites.
{#Relative URLs#terminol.html#URL#} will use the path specified by "%BASE",
not the current location of the page.

=  %BASE http://www.med.ufl.edu/medinfo/mtx/docs/

#Counter

The "%COUNTER" tag is used to add a dynamic counter at the bottom of the page.
You must specify a start date for the counter and the URL of the CGI counter
program.

=  %COUNTER January 1, 1996 http://www.med.ufl.edu/cgi/counter.cgi

#Refresh#=REFRESH

Netscape and other Web browsers have the ability to refresh
pages automatically at timed intervals. The "%REFRESH" tag allows you to specify
the number of seconds the browser will wait before updating the page. You have
the option to specify a URL to jump to when the interval has elapsed. If no URL
is specified, the browser will refresh the current page. [{#3.2#current.html#}]

=  %REFRESH 30
=  %REFRESH 60 http://www.med.ufl.edu/medinfo/mtx/docs/slides.html

This page will return to the index page after 30 seconds.
