Other Plug-Ins can now register with WebSTAR SSI to process HTML or custom tags.
For example, a Plug-In that converted text to uppercase might register with SSI to handle a custom <UPPERCASE> tag. When WebSTAR SSI encountered a set of <UPPERCASE> and </UPPERCASE> tags in a page, it would pass the text between these tags to this Plug-In for processing, then insert the results into the page before sending it off to the browser.
WebSTAR SSI can also support Plug-In modules. An example, "SSI-WebInclude" is distributed on the WebSTAR CD and available from the StarNine web site. It allows you to include parts of HTML pages in your SSI pages, using URLs. Therefore, you can dynamically load data from any web site into your HTML pages.
