DESCRIPTION

       This include file defines some standard support tags one needs all the time.  All tags are self-explanatory and briefly mentioned in
       wml_intro(1), except the last two which are described below.

   "<javascript>":
       This tag was primarily a shorthand for "<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript">" but it has evolved.  If the "<head>" tag is
       defined and is a complex macro, e.g. when calling "wml::std::page", then Javascript code is automatically passed to this macro and should
       be diverted to the HEAD section of HTML documents.  This diversion preserve lang slices in multi-lingual documents.  Those features may be
       disabled by the ``nohead'' and ``nolang'' attributes.

   "<sync-lines>":
       WML tries to print information on input file and line numbers when warnings or errors are reported in passes 2 and 3.  Some special
       sentences containing file names and line numbers are inserted during pass 1. So pass 2 have an accurate knowledge of where warnings appear
       in input file.  But it also filters it without preserving lines, so after pass 2 information is almost unusable.  By putting "<sync-lines>"
       in input file, it forces pass 2 to resynchronize information on line numbers.  So for debugging pass 3, it could be of some help to insert
       "<sync-lines>" before ePerl code.
