Cloak BridgeThe Cloak Bridge component for Interaction provides a bridge from the command-tag constructs of NetCloak (TM) to markup that adheres to the syntax and semantics of XML and established open markup standards. It faciliates the transition from non-standard command tags to proper markup.
Using the Cloak Bridge, Webmasters that previously have depended on proprietary command tags for dynamic pages can move on to benefit from standard markup that covers the same purpose. Documents with command tags can be imported into Interaction, so you can at your own pace convert from command tags to standard markup.
XML Entities and Entity References supersedes INSERT command tags and Macros. The Cloak Bridge makes Interaction recognize and execute all variations of the INSERT command tag as well as macro inclusions. Macros are automatically converted into XML Entities. Webmasters can then at their own pace substitute command tags with corresponding XML constructs, as well as take advantage of other standard markup supported by Interaction.
On-line help is available to further assist the transition from command tags to standard markup. Here are some examples of how to convert from command tags to Interaction XML entity references:
| Command Tag | Entity Reference | Description |
|---|---|---|
| <INSERT_TIME> | &time; | Current time |
| <INSERT_DATE> | &date; | Current date |
| <INSERT_DAY> | &day; | Current day |
| <INSERT_DOMAIN> | &domain; | Domain of visitor |
| <INSERT_USERNAME> | &username; | Username of visitor |
| <INSERT_CLIENT> | &browser; | Browser of visitor |
| <INSERT_THISURL> | &url; | URL of page |
| <A HREF="<INSERT_REFERRER>"> | <A HREF="&referrer;"> | Link to previous page |
| <INSERT_COUNT <INSERT_THISURL>> | &hits; | Hitcounter |
| <MACRO header> | &header; | Header |
| <MACRO footer> | &footer; | Footer |
