The following three chapters document, respectively, the predicates for HTML/XML/CGI programming, the predicate for HTTP conectivity, and the types used in the definition of the predicates (key for fully understanding the other predicates). You can find a paper and some additional information in the <A NAME="IDX8"></A> <CODE>library/pillow/doc</CODE> directory of the distribution, and in the WWW at <A HREF="http://clip.dia.fi.upm.es/Software/pillow/pillow.html">http://clip.dia.fi.upm.es/Software/pillow/pillow.html</A>. There is also a <A NAME="IDX9"></A> <EM>PiLLoW on-line tutorial</EM> (slides) at <A HREF="http://clip.dia.fi.upm.es/logalg/slides/C_pillow/C_pillow.html">http://clip.dia.fi.upm.es/logalg/slides/C_pillow/C_pillow.html</A> which illustrates the basic features and provides a number of examples of PiLLoW use. <UL> <LI><A HREF="pillow_doc_2.html#SEC3">Installing PiLLoW</A> <LI><A HREF="pillow_doc_2.html#SEC4">Usage and interface (pillow)</A> </UL> <H2><A NAME="SEC3" HREF="pillow_doc_toc.html#TOC3">Installing PiLLoW</A></H2> <P> To correctly install PiLLoW, first, make sure you downloaded the right version of PiLLoW (there are different versions for different LP/CLP systems; the version that comes with Ciao is of course the right one for Ciao). Then, please follow these steps: <OL> <LI>Copy the files in the <CODE>images</CODE> directory to a WWW accessible directory in your server. <LI>Edit the file <A NAME="IDX10"></A> <CODE>icon_address.pl</CODE> and change the fact to point to the URL to be used to access the images above. <LI>In the Ciao system the files are in the correct place, in other systems copy the files <A NAME="IDX11"></A> <CODE>pillow.pl</CODE> and <A NAME="IDX12"></A> <CODE>icon_address.pl</CODE> to a suitable directory so that your Prolog system will find them. </OL> <H2><A NAME="SEC4" HREF="pillow_doc_toc.html#TOC4">Usage and interface (<CODE>pillow</CODE>)</A></H2> <div class="cartouche"> <UL> <LI><STRONG>Library usage:</STRONG> <CODE>:- use_package(pillow).</CODE> or <CODE>:- module(...,...,[pillow]).</CODE> <LI><STRONG>New operators defined:</STRONG> <A NAME="IDX13"></A> <CODE>$/2</CODE> [150,xfx], <A NAME="IDX14"></A> <CODE>$/1</CODE> [150,fx]. </UL> </div class="cartouche"> <P><HR><P> Go to the <A HREF="pillow_doc_1.html">first</A>, <A HREF="pillow_doc_1.html">previous</A>, <A HREF="pillow_doc_3.html">next</A>, <A HREF="pillow_doc_9.html">last</A> section, <A HREF="pillow_doc_toc.html">table of contents</A>. </BODY> </HTML>
