Diplomas and the WEB result are defined using
HTML. This allows the user to freely build and customize the layouts of the
diplomas and the uploaded LiveTiming and Result WEB
pages. Actual the provided layouts should only be taken as samples. Please feel
free to customize them anyway you like. It is easier than you think.
You can use any editor, provided that you have
a basic understanding of the HTML involved, or alternatively you can use an
editor that does support HTML. I.E. Microsoft Word might be used to edit the
pages, provided you save the data in HTML format.
LapMaster used HTML models stored in the “C:\LapMaster\Multimedia” folder, but distributed in the “C:\LapMaster\Multimedia\Factory” folder. This means that LapMaster
first look for your local version in the MultiMedia
folder, and if not yet there copies the distribution versions from the
Multimedia\Factory folder. In this way you possibly modified models will not be
overwritten by a LapMaster upgrade.
These models contain some replaceable
parameters in the style [NAME], which will be modified by LapMaster
before being used as the actual HTML file.
