IDXPGBEGIN

Syntax

Envariable: N/A
Element: <IDXPGBEGIN> markup ...

Description

The IDXPGBEGIN resource defines the beginning markup for the main index page. I.e. You can control the opening <HTML> tag, the HEAD element contents, the opening <BODY> tag, etc. Therefore, if you are not satisfied with the default behavior of how the TITLE resource is used, or have other needs that require control over the beginning markup, you can set the IDXPGBEGIN resource to what you desire.

Default Setting

<IdxPgBegin>
<!doctype html public "-//W3C//DTD HTML//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>$IDXTITLE$</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>$IDXTITLE$</h1>
</IdxPgBegin>
