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 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" the page on paper. 

  %LAYOUT feedback

Overrides "none" switches for questions on the page and forces all feedback to be turned on. 

  %LAYOUT nofeedback

Suppresses all feedback for the page. Has the same effect as adding the "none" switch to every question. 

  %LAYOUT slide

Create presentation slides based on the headings in the document. 

  %LAYOUT keyword

Identifies a page that contains keyword index terms. 

  %LAYOUT noindex

Identifies a page that should be excluded from keyword indexing.

Colors

The "%COLORS" tag allows you to change the text and background colors 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:

For example: 

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

Netscape Only

Watermark

The "%WATERMARK" tag allows you to add a watermark graphic to the page instead of the solid color background: 
  %WATERMARK mtxbg

Netscape Only

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 will use the path specified by "%BASE", not the current location of the page. 
  %BASE http://www.med.ufl.edu/medinfo/mtx/docs14/

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

 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. 
  %REFRESH 30
  %REFRESH 60 http://www.med.ufl.edu/medinfo/mtx/docs14/slides.html

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