I'm trying to edit an html file that isn't intended directly for the web.
Instead, it's a template for another application (iView MediaPro) to use
to generate the final html. As part of the template, you can use certain
tags, which MediaPro substitutes with appropriate data when generating the
html.
One line that I use is as follows:
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;
charset=(iView:HTMLCharset)"/>
So in the above, (iView:HTMLCharset) is substituted to arrive at:
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
Now, the problem is that the html editor in Web Tools doesn't like me
saying "charset=(iView:HTMLCharset)" -- the html template file doesn't
open properly in the editor (just shows a horizontal line and
"(iView:HTMLCharset)" under that), and if I try to cheat by copying and
pasting the text into a blank file, it does all show up OK, but it won't
then save.
Is there any way I can get around this, apart from stopping using the
MediaPro charset tag?
Thanks,
Mike

No, Michael. No way. I'm not sure why tag/value needs to be parameritized
like that,
but doesn't seem like "true HTML" that way. For example what _would_ be the
encoding of the template, before the parameter is "filled in". WTP and the
editors
would have to make some assumption which would seem hard to know what that
should be.
Overall, I'd that that template file whould have a different file
extension so its
not treated like "true HTML" ... but, I'd guess that would cause you to
lose some
funtion you really want (content assist, or something).
Feel free to open a feature request if you think this is a long term,
common need.

After I wrote my "no" response, I was thinking that really ought to work,
even
though we didn't plan on that kind of use-case.
If, while not open in an editor, you select the file, right click to
change properties,
and specify a specific charset to use for that file, then all the "peeking
in the file"
is skipped, and we just take your word for what ever you set in the file
properties.
Then you can change to the charset value in the meta tag to what ever you
like,
including (iView:HTMLCharset) and we won't care.
Glad we can still provide an HTML editor for your template :)

David,
Brilliant! Thanks for the change of heart; I am really grateful for your
response. Works perfectly now, even with dodgy html templates! I don't
do a great deal of development, just the odd tinkering in my spare time,
but I wish I had found eclipse webtools a lot earlier than I did! Still
very much finding my feet, though.
Cheers,
Mike
