CONTENIDO HTML generation
CONTENIDO provides the feature to build html code in your php script with the use of objects. So it is possible to generate valid markup without writing the code by yourself.
The big advantage of such a central functionality is that the changes at one place effect all other usages, for example to set a default attribut in the whole CONTENIDO markup. Because of these potential it is highly recommended to use the cHTML classes to build your html code.
The automatic generation of id attributes makes it easier to select your elements with css or js.
