1: Embedded Source Code

It is possible to embed Java source code, from an external Java source file, into web pages using the Gild Web Browser. This helps greatly with the synchronization of source and web content. The example below shows a rendered page with embedded source code, and the special tag that is used to display it.


         <javasource

           project="ca.uvic.gild.docs" 

           file="src/Loops.java"
 
           method_sig="Loops.forLoop()">

The tag used to display the embedded Java source code is the javasource tag. It has three attributes:

	`project:` The name of the project in which the Java source code is contained. The project must be openned in the workspace, and it must be a Java project.
	`file:` The name of the file that contains the Java source code. The name must include the entire path of the file, relative to the project in which it is contained.
	`method_sig:` An optional method signature. It is of the form `Container.method(parameter1,parameter2,...)`. Where `Container`is the name of the class or interface that contains the method, `method` is the method name, and `parameter1,parameter2,...` are the parameters of the method. You need only to specify the variable types for the parameters, but variable names may be included as well. For example, `Container.main(String[] args)`, and `Container.main(String[])` are equivalent. If the `method_sig` attribute is ommitted, then the entire source code within the specified Java file will be embedded into your web page.
