Correspondence Fragment form - Completing the Stream tab

Complete this tab to define the source for the fragment, using the rich text editor in design mode or HTML codes in source mode. GRP-214 5.5

Click to operate in design mode, where the toolbar is available to apply formatting and other edits. In design mode, select text with the mouse pointer and click a tool to apply formatting, such as bold, underscore, and italics.
Click to view or update the source as HTML codes. In source mode, you can add HTML elements and JSP tags directly. For example, you can add the when JSP tag to conditionalize a portion of the HTML code. If you use JSP tags that identify a clipboard page, include the name and class of that page on the Pages & Classes tab.

(Rich text editor facilities are not available for fragments that use directives rather than JSP tags.)

Omit Extra Space

Select to eliminate extra space characters in the processed HTML. This can make transmission or processing more efficient. Is does not alter the appearance of the HTML when displayed in correspondence.

When selected, at runtime Process Commander:

Deletes control characters such as tab and newline.
Replaces two or more consecutive space characters with a single space, except within the curly brace characters defining directives.

Stream processing always copies space characters within the text of a property value, non-breaking spaces (&NBSP;) and space characters within a literal directive into the processed HTML without change.

Generate For

This field and the Convert to JSP button appear only when the rule contains HTML directives rather than JSP tags. The value that appears is HTML.

Tip As a best practice, use JSP tags rather than directives. In most cases, you can convert correspondence fragments that use directives to JSP tags automatically, using the button.

If this rule is circumstance-qualified or time-qualified, make this Generate For value match the Generate For value of the base rule. The base rule and the qualified rules must all use JSP tags or all use directives. B-20380

Convert to JSP

This button appears only after you save the form when the Generate For value is HTML and this rule is created by a Save As operation. See Converting from directives to JavaServer Page tags.
