NetCloak Makes Your Site Easier To Manage

NetCloak provides several commands that make your pages simpler and your site easier to manage. NetCloak commands like <MACRO>, <INSERT_MODIFIED>, <INSERT_FILESIZE>, and <EXEC_CGI> are just a few of the ways to simplify everything from common HTML snippets to downloadable files to using and writing CGIs.

NetCloak's MACRO command can automatically insert a common header and footer on all of your pages. Updating all of your pages with a new header is then as simple as changing the macro, instead of editing every page individually. The MACRO command can also insert content from a file, making it easy to include information from an outside source in any page.

Your users will always know that your pages are fresh when you use the INSERT_MODIFIED command to display the date the page was updated. If you have downloadable files on your site, INSERT_FILESIZE will automatically insert the size of the file and update it if the file changes. The footer on each of these introduction pages is inserted using NetCloak's MACRO command, and the update date is inserted using NetCloak's INSERT MODIFIED command.
