wml::imp::csmap(3)

💖 wml::imp::csmap — the manual page, bestie edition 💖

okay so you're reading the manual page for wml::imp::csmap, which lives in section 3 of the EN Tools manual set. it's giving "import an external server-side map and inline it as a client-side map" energy and honestly? iconic. let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

wml::imp::csmap — Import External Server-Side Map as Inlined Client-Side Map 💅

like, that's the whole vibe. we're taking a map that lives outside your page and pulling it into your page. main character behavior fr fr.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

here's exactly how you'd use it, copy-paste ready, no cap:

#use wml::imp::csmap

<a href="foo.map">
<img src="foo.gif" alt="test" ismap usemap="#foo.cmap" border=0></a>
<csmap from="foo.map" type="ncsa" name="foo.cmap">

that <csmap> tag is the star of the show, the moment, the whole reason we're here ✨

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so basically: this tag converts an externally stored server-side map — and yes, it handles either NCSA or CERN format, we're versatile like that — into an inlined client-side map. glow-up complete 💖

and the way it does it? not me doing it myself, no no. it calls in the external program wml_aux_map2html(3) to handle the whole transformation. teamwork makes the dream work, bestie.
