Features
- Smarthtml and Template Editor
- Smarthtml allows html documents to embed commands for accessing
ShopSite data. For example, instead of using the back office a web
developer could place Smarthtml codes for placing an order directly into
her documents. When Update is clicked ShopSite reads the smarthtml
documents and converts the smarthtml codes into regular html, with the
database values you requested.
