What is it?
Meta-HTML is a programming language specifically designed for working
within the World Wide Web environment. Although it is a genuine
programming language, suitable for large-scale symbolic manipulation,
it provides the most commonly wanted Web functionality as built-in
primitives, so you don't have to write them. You can find out more
about the theory of implementation in this white paper
[http://www.metahtml.org/documentation/manifesto.html].
Web pages are authored using HTML and Meta-HTML statements freely
intermixed. When a page is requested by a browser, the page is passed
through the Meta-HTML interpreter, which dynamically processes any
Meta-HTML statements to produce a final HTML page that is delivered
to the browser.
The source distribution provides several different interpreter options:
* A CGI engine which can be run by any Unix Web server,
* A FastCGI engine which can be run under FastCGI compliant servers,
* A full-featured Web server (mhttpd) with the interpreter built in,
* A standalone processor, much like Perl or Tcl, and
* An interactive debugger, with a feel similar to GDB (mdb)
