Tutorials

Although WebLord is built upon relatively simple concepts, it does represent a rather uncommon approach to building websites (or other kinds of documents). Recognizing this, we are expanding this tutorial section to provide an ever-increasing wealth of examples.

A ``Hello World'' Site
A very simple demonstration, constructing two pages.

Building a Simple Site
Teaches you how to build a simple site (two pages), using concepts such as inheritance, and demonstrates how easy it is to alter the presentation of our pages merely by shifting around symbolic references in the layout.

This is a great starting point if you are new to WebLord!

Using the 'html-page.wl' Definition
The 'html-page.wl' file contains definitions for the basic structure of HTML pages (i.e. the header with meta-tags, the attributes for the page's body-tag, etc.) Knowing how to use these definitions greatly eases the creation of HTML pages for your site.

Highly recommended reading!

A complex news page
Explains how the Ringlord Technologies News Page is constructed. And you thought we slave over all those nested tables and such!! :)

Handling Operating System Dependencies
Using objects with Select-Case and the "_OS" symbol to select values based on the operating system where WebLord is executing. This can make for portable scripts, perfect for taking home from work or vice versa.

This also includes information on using "select-case" and a nifty example on how to have WebLord give up with an error if something is not as it should be.
