Webgenz Overview
When working with Webgenz, you need to be familiar with the following concepts:
- Projects - A Project is used to identify a web site or
portion of a web site that is being maintained by Webgenz. You may
have a single Project for your entire site or break your site up into
multiple Projects. For most sites, a single Project is all that you will
need. The limit to the number of Folders or Documents in a Project
is based on the amount of memory in your PC. A single Project can contain
hundreds of Folders and thousands of Documents.
- Folders - Folders are subdivisions of Projects. A Project can be logically
divided into as many Folders as necessary. A Webgenz Folder has no direct relationship
to a Windows Folder. However, a Webgenz user may decide to
structure their Webgenz Folders to map directly to Windows Folders.
- Documents - Documents are
HTML files which are generated by Webgenz. They are not edited directly,
but are "generated" from Templates and Content Files. Documents are organized
into Folders.
- Content File - Content files are where Macros are defined. Content files are organized
into a hierarchy which allows Macro Values to be shared (or inherited) across a group of files that have
some characteristic in common. Read more
- Templates - A Template defines the basic layout for Document. Templates contain Macro Tags that
are replaced by Macro Values when Webgenz generates a web site. Read more
- Project Definition File - The Project Definition File is a text file that contains all of the information related
to a specific project, including: Folder definitions, Document definitions,
and the relationships between Folders, Documents, Templates, and Content Files. Read more
- Macro Tags - Macro Tags are used in Template files to identify the the variable
pieces of information that will be replaced by Macro Values from Content Files. Macro Tags are
sometimes referred to as Macro references.
- Macro Values - Macro Values replace Macro Tags in Template files when
a Project is "generated". Macros Tags can be nested.
- Macro Parameters - Macro Tags may include parameters. This feature
allows specific elements in a Macro Value to be replaced by parameters referenced in a Macro Tag.
