Introduction

The Roxen webserver allows us to have many more options in the realm of speed, functionality and "stuff". Below are just some of the things that we can now do using this new server. But before we begin, there are a few things you must know.

  1. All of this information can be very technical in nature... If you don't already know what HTML is and how to create a website, it is not going to do you much good to read on.
  2. Roxen is a "modularized" web server (eg. there is a module for everything that is done on the server) and so different features can be enabled and disbaled via adding different modules to each server. This is done by the Web Administrator and he/she can tell you what modules are curently installed on your account.

On-Line Examples

Business Graphics Module

This image was created by using the charting and ploting functions of the Business Graphics Mudule. The image is created in real-time when the user accesses the page so that numbers can constantly change and there is no need to re-generate the image again and again. This is the HTML (or RXML) I used to create it:

The World

World Map

This is a map of the world. You can also highlight certain countries. This is the HTML (or RXML) I used to create it:

   The time is 19:39

Graphic Text Module

This is one of the more powerful modules in that it can generate GIF images in realtime. This clock displays the current server time by using the <date time> RXML tag and the <GTEXT> tag which creates the moving GIF: This is the HTML (or RXML) I used to create it:

This page has been accessed one thousand two hundred and twentyseven times since September 2004.

RXML Module

Some of the more basic features let you do things like basic page hits: This is the HTML (or RXML) I used to create it:

 <line> 
<line> is defined in the Main RXML parser module.

Prints the current line number of the current page.

Example
source code
The current line is line <line>.
result
The current line is line 239.

On-Line Help Module

Some of the features are designed to assist you in generating your pages. For example the <help for=x> tag displays on-line help for the associated tag (x): This is the HTML (or RXML) I used to create it:

There is one more module called the demo module because it knows all of the tags provided by Roxen and it allows you to refine what you want your tag to look like and then copy and paste the HTML into your page. It is very helpful. You can load that module by loading this address: http://home.webguyinternet.com/support/demo/.
