HTML Descriptors Overview
Accessing HTML descriptors
To access HTML descriptors:
1. In MEGA, select the Utilities window.

The
Utilities window is accessed by selecting
View > Navigation Windows > Utilities.
2. Expand the "Descriptor" folder, then the "HTML" sub-folder.
You can access descriptors of object pages or specific pages (index, home page, site map).
3. To access descriptors of object pages, expand the "HTML Object Page" sub-folder.
4. Select HTML <Body> or HTML <Head> according to the type of descriptor you want to create (body or header).
You can, for example, create your descriptor in the "HTML Personal" sub-folder.

The body constitutes the visual content of the HTML page. The head contains the page title, META information defining keywords that can be used by search engines, the style sheet, etc.
HTML descriptor editor
In the case of HTML descriptors, the descriptor editor functions in much the same way as described in the sections covering RTF editing (see
Customizing RTF Descriptors). There are, however, important differences:
• Texts titled “HTML source” are written in a specific editor similar to WordPad.
• The codes corresponding to repository data differ from those used in RTF descriptors.
Formatting is carried out using HTML tags or "CSS" style sheets. By default, MEGA provides a set of style sheets. You can apply a style to the content of a descriptor by selecting the content in question and by selecting the style sheet in the field at the top of the Edit window.
As for RTF descriptors, elements from the repository are inserted in the text by selection from the Fields menu tree, then by drag-and-drop into the text.
It is possible to include standard HTML tags (for example <BR> to add a line break) and text in the content of the descriptor, as well as to complement elements using the appropriate syntax.
For description of syntax, see:

The "Inherited" parameter allows us to take into account or to ignore inherited objects.
Possible values for this parameter are:
• On
• Default: default behavior when the "Inherited' parameter is not specified in the "Component" tag
• Off
Example:
[Component="Select [IT Service] Where [Defining-Application] = '37D340E0445B0250'" Inherited="On" ][/Component]
