The setting "Use 4DVAR comments instead of brackets" must be turned on for the 4D Ajax Framework as well as the PROCESS HTML TAGS command.

Here is a 4D method to detect this setting programmatically:

`Method: Check_Web_Compatibility

C_BOOLEAN($0;$b_Pref_Web)
C_BLOB($in;$out)
C_TEXT($in_text;maVar;maVarHTML)

maVar:="Variable value"
$in_text:=""
$b_Pref_Web:=True

TEXT TO BLOB($in_text;$in;Text without length )
PROCESS HTML TAGS($in;$out)

maVarHTML:=BLOB to text($out;Text without length )

If (maVarHTML#maVar) `4DVAR non-determined tag
$b_Pref_Web:=False `Alert, incompatible with 4D Web 2.0 Pack!
End if

$0:=$b_Pref_Web
