The htp and htf Packages
The htp hypertext procedures and htf hypertext functions packages generate HTML tags. For instance, the htp.anchor procedure generates the HTML anchor tag,
A. The following commands generate a simple HTML document:
create or replace procedure hello AS BEGIN
htp.htmlopen; -- generates HTML htp.headopen; -- generates HEAD
htp.titleHello; -- generates TITLEHelloTITLE htp.headclose; -- generates HEAD
htp.bodyopen; -- generates BODY htp.header1, Hello; -- generates H1HelloH1
htp.bodyclose; -- generates BODY htp.htmlclose; -- generates HTML
END;
For every htp procedure that generates HTML tags, there is a corresponding htf function with identical parameters. The function versions do not directly generate
output in your web page. Instead, they pass their output as return values to the statements that invoked them. Use these functions when you need to nest calls. To
look up htf functions, see the entry for the corresponding htp procedures.
To print the output of htf functions, call the functions from within the htp.print procedure. It then prints its parameters to the generated web page.

a varchar2 data type in the procedure or function.
