1: creating a package that outputs xml
Posted by Matthew Smith on 05/12/08 09:13 PM
I am just starting with my first package. I have written a very simple index.adp and index.tcl. When I browse to this, it is wrapped inside of the openacs framework, including
all the html.

I would like to control the output so all that is output is the html I have in a variable, or xml. How do I do this?

Check out the templating documentation at
YOURSITE/doc/acs-templating
You probably need to remove the <master> tag from your ADP templates. That will suppress the openacs template around your content. If the content is in a Tcl variable, you can also just return it from the Tcl script like this: 
ns_return 200 text/html $var
or 
ns_return 200 text/xml $var
