Translating XSSI content
In order to design pages that will be generated with XSSI, you need to be able
to see what the pages will look like once they are on a server. To facilitate
this, you can translate the XSSI directives on your page by choosing "Modify>Translate>XSSI"
from the menu bar. As soon as you choose this command, all XSSI directives on
your page will be translated. This means that, while you will still see the
original directives in the HTML inspector, directives in the Document window
will look as if you were viewing the page on an XSSI-capable Web server. For
example, all echo directives will be replaced with
the value of the variable they are echoing.
Note: You can also press
the "Translate" button in any of the XSSI Property Inspectors. This
is equivalent to choosing "Modify>Translate>XSSI" from the
menu bar.
Untranslating XSSI content You can untranslate your page by choosing the "Untranslate" command
from the "Commands" menu. All translated directives will be replaced
with icons to show you that there are invisible elements on your page.
Automatic translation If you don't want to have to manually translate your page every time you
add or modify a directive, you can turn on automatic translation by setting
your Translation preferences (select the "Edit>Preferences" command
and choose "Translation"). You can set automatic translation
in all files, in no files, in files with certain extensions, or only in files
with XSSI directives in them.
