#{welcome /}

which produces welcome screen content .

now i need to change the content of that tag..

where i need to edit the tag content .? please help me!

Answer 1

You don't need to change the content of the tag. It's just a convenience thing to auto-generate a welcome message. You can remove it and replace it with:

<h2>See, I changed the tag!</h2>

Here's the whole index.html, modified:

#{extends 'main.html' /}
#{set title:'Home' /}

<h2>See, I changed the tag!</h2>

Answer 2

The tags in Play framework are usually in

app/views/tags

folder. This one has to be called welcome.html.

Answer 3

If there is no welcome.html in the project, maybe you can try to find the welcome.html in the folder where the play framework is installed.
And the path maybe like xxxxx\play-1.3.3\framework\templates\tags.
