Regions

 

The Four Types Of Regions

No Regions

The page is not divided into any regions, and all meta-tags are generated from the entire contents of the file. This is the default.

Table Regions

Almost all templates are structured using tables. Rapid Meta-Tags will extract all the tables from the file, and display them in the Region Selection Area. Tables are often nested (A cell in a table may itself contain another table, and so on), and Rapid Meta-Tags will extract the nested tables as well. There are some rules that need to be obeyed when using Table Regions:

  • All table tags must be well-formed. This means that every <table> tag must have a closing </table> tag, every <TR> tag must have a closing </TR> tag and every <td> tag must have a closing </td> tag.
  • All colspan and rowspan values must accurately reflect the size of the table. This means that if a table has a total of 3 columns, a row spanning all three columns must have a colspan value of 3.

If your code does not conform to these rules, unexpected results may occur.

FrontPage Regions

Microsoft FrontPage has a build in system for creating site templates, called Dynamic Web Templates. If your site has been build with FrontPage Dynamic Web Templates, the FrontPage Regions will extract the content of the editable regions within the page, and display them by name in the Region Selection Area.

User-Defined Regions (for advanced users)

If none of the build-in region types can accurately isolate the content of your page, you can use regular expressions to create your own regions.
