Embedding HTMLBusiness in Standard HTML (SAP Library - HTMLBusiness Language Reference)

Embedding HTML^Business in Standard HTML

To embed HTML^Business expressions in standard HTML, you use either of the following delimiters:

<server> … </server>

` … `

Example

The following code includes the vbcom-kunde screen field in the HTML page, using the <server> … </server> tags:

<h1> Order Status </h1>
<p> Customer Number: <server> vbcom-kunde </server>
...

The following code includes the vbcom-kunde screen field in the HTML page, using the equivalent back quotes:

<h1> Order Status </h1>
<p> Customer Number: ` vbcom-kunde`
...

Embedding HTML^Business Tags in Standard HTML Tags

Since HTML does not allow tag nesting, you cannot embed HTML^Business tags within standard HTML tags.

Example

The following code is not possible:

<a href="<server> screenURL </server>"> Link </a>

To handle this, HTML^Business provides the back quote. Unlike the <server> … </server> tag, you can use back quotes inside HTML tags.

Example

The hyperlink in the previous example could be written as:

Leaving Back Quotes Uninterpreted

If you want to leave back quotes in your HTML page uninterpreted, use the code &#96 instead.

Example

In the following code, the vbcom-kunde field is left uninterpreted:

<p> This is an HTMLBusiness expression: &#96 vbcom-kunde&#96 </p>

Therefore, the Web browser output is:

This is an HTML Business expression: ‘vbcom-kunde‘
