The HTML canvas enables you to create HTML pages for Web Query. Designed for business users, you do not need to have experience in HTML, CSS, XML, or JavaScript. The HTML canvas is a graphical interface that is easy to use.
Note: HTML canvas files are intended to be created and edited with the HTML canvas only. They are not designed to be edited manually. HTML files that have been edited manually, outside the HTML canvas, may fail to run and are not supported.
If you are a web developer and want to write your own code instead of using the HTML canvas, you can use the authoring tool of your choice and also use RESTful Web Services. To do so, you must license the Web Query Web Services Enablement Option. For more information see the Web Query RESTful Web Services Developer’s Guide.
To access the HTML canvas, on the Home tab, in the Content group, click HTML/Document.
The HTML canvas opens.
The HTML canvas uses HTML 5 Document Type Definitions (DTD).
