Creating Output Documents

Output Template

The file output_template.html provides the code needed to create a MATLAB Web Server output document. An abbreviated version looks like

<!--
Modify this file to create your own HTML output document
and save it as <MY_OUTPUT>.html, where <MY_OUTPUT> is replaced
by a name that has meaning within the context of your application.
-->
<!-- STEP 1
Display a MATLAB scalar or character string. Replace 
<MY_OUTPUT_VARIABLE_1> in the following line with the name of the 
MATLAB variable you want to display. Change the other text to 
something meaningful within the context of your application.
-->
My output variable 1 has been computed to be 
$<my_output_variable_1>$
<!-- STEP 2
Put all your other HTML tags here.
-->

webmagic Output

The webmagic output document contains three variables.

$msquare$ -- the completed magic square

$msize$ -- the size of the magic square

$msum$ -- the magic square sum along its rows, columns, or diagonals

Using htmlrep the webmagic function replaces these variables with actual values, using the input obtained from webmagic1.html.

The source for the webmagic2.html template document looks like

<!--
HTML output template used by webmagic.m in call to the
function HTMLREP. (HTMLREP replaces variable names delinated 
by dollar signs, e.g., $msquare$, with their values. It also
generates HTML tables and select lists dynamically from matrics,
cell arrays, and vectors.) 
-->
<html>
<head>
<title>Magic Square in an HTML Table</title>
</head>
<div align="center">
<strong>Magic Square in an HTML Table</strong></p>
<!-- 
Use the MATLAB "AUTOGENERATE" HTML attribute to generate a table 
dynamically from the variable "msquare", which is a matrix (in 
program webmagic.m).   
-->
<table border="1" cellspacing="1" autogenerate="$msquare$">
    <tr>
        <td align="right">
    </td>
    </tr>
</table>
<!--
Replace $msize$ and $msum$ with the contents of MATLAB variables 
named "msize" and "msum" respectively as computed in webmagic.m.
-->
<p>
Size: $msize$<br>
Sum of all columns, rows, and diagonals: $msum$
</div>
