Also ich habe nochmal etwas gegraben und im FP98- SDK nachfolgendes gefunden

How WEBBOT Syntax Works
Designer HTML is built on the foundation of the WEBBOT pseudo-tag that we
have used since FrontPage 1.0 to implement our FrontPage components. This
specially formed WEBBOT tag is placed inside of an HTML comment tag, so that
web browsers simply ignore the information contained in the pseudo-tag,
while the FrontPage Editor can parse the WEBBOT comment tag and use the
information to provide a WYSIWYG authoring environment for that portion of
the HTML.
Spanning WEBBOT syntax takes the syntax we used for a few WebBot components
in FrontPage 1.1, and uses this syntax for all FrontPage components in
FrontPage 97 and FrontPage 98. We use the <!-- WEBBOT StartSpan --> syntax
for starting the component's declaration, and we add a <!--WEBBOT
EndSpan --> closing tag. This allows us to put our special WebBot attributes
inside the comment, while also producing HTML that is readable by any
browser.
Attributes on the WEBBOT Pseudo-Tag
To let the user specify the display characteristics of a block of unknown
HTML in the FrontPage Editor, we have three attributes on the WEBBOT
pseudo-tag. They are only valid when the StartSpan attribute is also
specified (can't use with EndSpan.) Also, when using Designer HTML, the BOT
attribute is always set to "HTMLMarkup". The new attributes are:
U-SRC=filename Points to an image file to use to display the unknown HTML
block in the FrontPage Editor. If the image is a file: URL on the local
machine then it will be automatically included into the web and the URL
adjusted to point to the version contained in the web.
Only image files are allowed for the U-SRC tag. Included HTML is not
allowed. If text is needed for display then it should either be encoded into
the image or the ALT attribute should be used instead of the U-SRC
attribute.
ALT=text Limited HTML text to show inside a rectangle in the FrontPage
Editor as the display for the unknown HTML block. If both U-SRC and ALT are
specified, then U-SRC is used in preference to ALT. Typically, however, only
one or the other would be specified. The set of allowed HTML tags in the ALT
attribute is detailed below.
TAG=text An optional attribute which specifies the tag level that the ALT
attribute should be entered as. You can specify any block-like HTML tag name
(without < > brackets) that is beneath the BODY tag. For instance, to have
the HTML entered into the document at the level of a <p> paragraph tag, use
TAG=p. Or to make it a heading, use TAG=h1. If omitted, it is inserted as a
text/character-level tag.
Here's an example:
<!--WEBBOT bot="HTMLMarkup" ALT= "<Font Size=+3><I>Foobar ISV Feature
Placeholder</I></FONT>" StartSpan -->
[## amazingly ugly ISV syntax that either a server pre-processor knows, or
that a new version of some web browser knows, but FrontPage doesn't ##]
<!--WEBBOT bot="HTMLMarkup" EndSpan -->
In this case the ALT attribute is specified for a simple textual display of
the unknown HTML.
Valid HTML tag subset for ALT attribute text
The set of tags usable in the ALT text is basically the set of tags that are
for character formatting, or those tags that generate objects that appear
inline with text. Tags that cause paragraph breaks or are for paragraph
formatting are not allowed.
The set of available tags is:
SUP, SUB
BIG, SMALL, FONT, B, CITE, CODE, DFN, EM, I, KBD, SAMP, STRIKE, STRONG, TT,
U, VAR, BLINK, MARQUEE
BR, IMG, A, OPTION, MAP, SELECT, INPUT, TEXTAREA, AREA, OBJECT, EMBED,
APPLET
Appearance of Designer HTML Representation in the Editor
Designer HTML appears either as an inline image or as inline text, depending
on whether the ALT or U-SRC attributes are used for the WEBBOT pseudo-tag.
If U-SRC is used, the pointed-to image is rendered at the full image
dimensions. If ALT is used then the marked-up and possibly formatted HTML
text is rendered inline with no additional visual embellishments.
The mouse pointer is changed to the standard WebBot cursor whenever the
cursor is moving or hovering over the Designer HTML image or text.
Selection in the editor treats the Designer HTML as a single unit to make it
easy to move this unknown HTML around the page via the standard editing
operations. If you want to edit the ugly unknown HTML tags that are carried
around by the WYSIWYG representation in the Editor, then you can just
double-click to get an editing dialog.
Inserting an Extension File and Importing Images
There are three main ways to get these extensions into FrontPage:
· Copy and Paste of the HTML (described in a section below)
· Insert File
· Drag and drop
