Examples : Inline Math.

Tired of calculating the table and cell widths of complicated tables? Let the code do the math! By defining all widths as elements, you can do the math inline in the template.

for example:

#tableWidth 360
#td1Width 90
#spacer src="{pathToTop}images/spacer.gif" height="36" border="1"

<img {spacer} width="{tableWidth}">
<img {spacer} width="{td1Width}">
<img {spacer} width="{int(tableWidth) - int(td1Width) -2}">

(subtract 2 from the last spacer to accont for the image borders)
results in:

<img {spacer} width="360">
<img {spacer} width="90">
<img {spacer} width="268">

A more advanced example could use a script at the top of the page to turn all the width elements into integers so that the in-line scripts didn't need to do the conversion. Something like:

def convertToInt():
    elementNames = ['tableWidth', 'td1Width']
    for elem in elementNames:
        page.elements[elem] = int(page.elements[elem])
    return ''
