The L-Space Web: Developers

Old Headers Toolbars and Footers

These are here for reference purposes only.

_SHEADER($1,$2)

$1 = title of the page
$2 = description of the page

Generates the following:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<html lang="en">
<head>
<title>$1</title>
<meta name="keywords" CONTENT="Discworld Terry Pratchett L-Space lspace.org alt.fan.pratchett">
<meta name="description" CONTENT="$2">
<link rel="made" href="mailto:librarian@lspace.org">
<link rel="Stylesheet" title="Default Stylesheet" media="Screen" href="/css/default.css">
</head>

_HEADER($1,$2)

exactly the same as above, but adds in the body tag:

<body bgcolor="#EFEFDE" background="'/images'/LightTerry.jpg" text="#000000" alink="#950000" vlink="#52188B" link="#0000EE">

_MTITLE($1,$2)

$1 = heading of the page
$2 = title of the page

example:
<em>$1</em><hr />
<div align="center">
<h1 class="blue">$2</h1>
<hr />
</div>

So _MTITLE(The L-Space Web Maintainers Page, General Macros) was the macro used for the top of this page.

On most pages of the L-Space Web, you will see a toolbar. These aid navigation around the site.

_SIMPLESTTOOLBAR(URL)

The smallest of the available toolbars, usually used to link back to the index page. Provides a single 'UP' button. If you use this macro add a <hr /> before it.

_SHORTTOOLBAR($1,$2,$3)

$1 = previous page url
$2 = index page url
$3 = next page url

3 buttons, but again you need to include <hr /> before it.

_SIMPLETOOLBAR($1,$2)

$1 = previous page url
$2 = next page url

3 button toolbar again, but with the index.html pre-defined. This macro already includes the horizontal rule.

_LONGTOOLBAR($1,$2,$3,$4,$5)

$1 = previous page (URL)
$2 = previous chapter
$3 = index/contents
$4 = next chapter
$5 = next page

5 buttons, the majority of the maintainers will never use this particular macro.

_WEB_MAINTENANCE

defines the standard global info line used in all the footers

_MIRROR_MAINTENANCE

defines the standard local info used in all the footers

_CREDITS

uses the above 2 macros

_FOOTER($1)

$1 = ????
This macro uses the first 3 to create the following:

The L-Space Web is a creation of The L-Space Librarians
This mirror site is maintained by R.R.Collier

As seen on the bottom of most pages of The L-Space Web.

_PAGE_DATE

defines the standard update time tag used in all the footers(?) and produces the following

This page was last modified: _DATE<br />

_HTMLFOOTER($1,$2)

$1 = url
$2 = your name
is a modified version of _FOOTER, for giving credit to single-page maintainers.
It adds in the following line to the footer of the page:

HTML for this page by <a href="$1">$2</a>.

The following are all specific footers for various sections of The L-Space Web, and similar in design to the _HTMLFOOTER. These are created specifically for the current maintainers.
