      <p class="para_topic"> Author HTML uses HTML template files that contain a mixture of both HTML and special NX embedded commands. The embedded NX commands extract information from a part file, with the results saved as a normal HTML file.</p>
      <p class="para_topic"> The template files are flexible and allow you to customize format and content. For example, you could use templates to create a set of HTML pages that display part and component information in multiple frames.</p>

      <p class="para_topic"> Multiple Frames in a Web Page</p>
      <p class="para_topic"> You could use the top frame, above, for a company header. The left frame could contain an assembly parts list. The right frame might contain a dynamic content list based on which part was selected in the left frame. You can populate the component details with attribute, expression, spreadsheet, and drawing information from the selected part (see the sample web page in this section).</p>
      <div class="title_division">Embedded Commands</div>
      <p class="para_division"> The embedded commands contain a rich set of functions for gathering data from a part. The commands are also flexible with respect to formatting the data for display. You can also extend the command set with Open C and C++ API programs so that you could place any NX data into an HTML page.</p>
      <p class="para_division"> The key to successfully creating HTML web pages with Author HTML is effectively using the embedded NX commands in the template file.</p>
