Working with HTML Templates in C#

Use HTML templates in Aspose.HTML for .NET when you need to generate HTML from reusable markup and structured XML or JSON data. The section explains template syntax, data binding, dynamic attributes, and Converter.ConvertTemplate() workflows.

An HTML template is a piece of HTML code used to create web pages or other HTML-based documents from reusable markup. It defines the page structure, layout, and content placeholders, then lets an application insert dynamic data into selected areas at runtime. This approach helps developers create customizable HTML documents without manually writing the same markup multiple times.

Aspose.HTML for .NET supports inline template expressions, XML and JSON data sources, dynamic attributes, and template-to-HTML conversion. The articles in this section provide C# examples for the main template workflows.

HTML Template Articles

• HTML Template Syntax in C# – learn data-binding expressions, foreach directives, XML data sources, and JSON data sources.
• Convert HTML Template to HTML in C# – use Converter.ConvertTemplate(), TemplateData, and TemplateLoadOptions to create the final HTML output.
• Set Attributes in HTML Template in C# – control generated attributes such as checked while populating HTML templates.

When to Use HTML Templates

Use templates when the HTML structure is known in advance but values come from runtime data. This is a good fit for reports, document fragments, generated pages, email-like HTML output, and server-side document assembly where XML or JSON data should populate repeatable markup.

Common template tasks include:

• binding scalar values such as names, addresses, or labels;
• repeating HTML markup for lists of items;
• inserting or omitting attributes based on data;
• creating complete HTML files from templates and data sources.
