Format Tools - Format as HTML

The Format as HTML Tool is used to produce single or multiple HTML documents, primarily utilising information provided by Input Tools such as the Database Query (ODBC) Tool. It is possible to create new HTML pages within the interface or import pages that have already been created elsewhere. The Tool uses merge fields to merge data objects into the document and/or insert tabulated data from a source to produce dynamic documents such as order acknowledgements, statements, intranet or web site content or summary reports. These HTML documents can then be delivered using many of the Output Tools.
