Have you considered using RSP? It's available from:
http://www.shlik.org/rsp/
RSP allows one to insert some dynamic content into statically generated
pages designed in a web page design program. Some people find this easier to
understand.
Have you considered using my ML dialect which is expressely for creating
HTML pages? It's available from my site or directly from me. In ML, your
example would translate to:
b1: cgi/title
ML compose/deep [
input/type/name/size/value "text" 'u_menu_title 20 (b1)
]
ML is designed for HTML, XHTML, XML, WML, XML-SS and so on. It's meant for
extremely fluid sites, where every page is highly dynamic and styling is
done through CSS. For example, 'Peers, shows peer CGI scripts:
Peers: func [Folder [file!]] [
compose/deep [
div/class "Peers" [(
map read Folder function [File [file!]] [Header] [
if all [
%.r = extension? File
File != Rebol/script/header/File
] [
Header: first load/header Folder/:File
Title: trim/lines any [Header/Purpose ""]
compose/deep [
span/class "Peer" [
a/href/title (Folder/:File)
(Title) (Header/Title)
]
]
]
]
)]
]
]
Otherwise, Gabriele's solution:
print [
{<input type="text" name="u_menu_title" size="20" value="} b1 {">}
]
or Andreas' solution:
print rejoin [
{<input type="text" name="u_menu_title" size="20" value="} b1 {">}
]
are OK.
