Bob,

You say there are no hooks into the QDESIGN source.  You can create your
own hooks using custom tags, e.g..
=20
Sure it is straight text, but you can add your own logic into the text
as desired and thus effect the rendering of the HTML as desired; or if
added for information only, the result could be no impact as well.

	Also, for the future, providing a closer integration of the PH
Web product with an HTML design tool would be very helpful. Right now,
the styled HTML must be modified by hand to implement changes. A QDESIGN
recompile into HTML will not merge the HTML design with the PH logic.
Either the PH must be laid into the template or vice versa. That would
produce a productivity gain that could be a great sales point, and
better justify the PH Web costs.

The upcoming version, 2.4, will let you do a much better job of
prototyping the entire application before any HTML changes have to be
made. Basically, in 2.2, you had to make HTML changes just to get a
basic application that passed data back and forth between pages. This is
now handled automatically.

We are looking at further enhancements to merge the HTML but since the
HTML is simple text, with no hooks to the QDESIGN source, it's not a
simple task. All I can say is that we are looking at it for a future
release.
