HTML^Business is an SAP-specific macro language that enables the Internet Transaction Server (ITS) to merge R/3 transaction screen data dynamically into HTML templates.

When a user starts a screen-based Internet application from a Web browser, this triggers an ITS service, which corresponds to an R/3 transaction. For each R/3 transaction screen, there is an HTML template, which contains standard HTML code and HTML^Business statements.

When R/3 transaction screen data is passed to the ITS at runtime, the HTML^Business interpreter evaluates the HTML ^Business statements and the ITS merges the data into HTML templates, which are displayed in the user‘s Web browser.

HTML^Business is syntactically similar to C.

To differentiate HTML^Business from standard HTML, the ITS uses the following delimiters:

• HTML-style tags

• Back quotes

By using these delimiters to enclose HTML^Business expressions, you do not have to implement multiple tags or mark methods in HTML pages. Also, you can use any suitable HTML authoring tool when writing HTML code to design Web pages.
