Astun supply a whole range of of Print Templates by default which may be used by the HiDPI Print plugin for iShare GIS but you may wish to create your own. The default Print Templates may be found in the WebApps\WebService\print\templates folder and these are the ones that are displayed in the Templates selection in the Print Options for your Print. If you wish to create your own custom templates then these will need to reside in the WebApps\WebService\custom\print\templates folder.

Generic User-Editable Elements
To create an HTML element in a template that can have its text content edited by users two things are needed:
- The
ishare-edit-inlineclass must be added to the element. Content must contain
##name.default content##wherenamewill be used to label the text input field in the Print Options dialog (with the first letter capitalised) anddefault contentis the text that will be used without user intervention. The ## characters are required.
E.g. in the default A4 Template we haveCode Block <span id="title" class="ishare-edit-inline">##title.Enter map title##</span>
which shows as this under the Print Options:
which the user may then change to whatever they want except, as the only form element used for text entry is the single-line <input>element, no line-breaks can be added to the text.
How this works
All the content of the element will be replaced by the default (and then the user input) text. Any text entered outside the ## characters will be ignored. All the content of the element will be replaced by the default (and then the user input) text.
...
This will correctly display as "This document was produce for INSERT RECIPIENT, please do not copy without permission. The Text entry under Print Options will display as "Purpose: INSERT RECIPIENT".

Predefined Dynamic Elements
The plugin will replace elements given particular class names with generated values. As per user-editable elements, these must contain ##name.default content## tags, although the default content should always get replaced by dynamically generated text (if not, then something has gone wrong!).
