Yes, there's a pretty simple routine that just evaluates everything between
<%= %>
and
<% %>
(which would evaluate using ExecScript (if vfp 7)). This basically uses all the nice VFP string functions like EVAL, STRTRAN, FILETOSTR, ATC, STUFFC, etc. HTML tables are a little different - there's a routine that evaluates each HTML table according to the name you pass the routine. Here's an example that was created in FrontPage(customers is the HTML table):
Simple List
<customers>
Company Contact Title
<%=tCursor.company%> <%=tCursor.Contact%> <%= tCursor.Title %>
</customers>
<%= IIF(RECCOUNT() > 10,[<< <<pages>> >>],[]) %>
Total Customers=<%=reccount()%>
You can see this fully evaluated at
