Where is defined
The Html receipt template is defined as a child element of the <config> element, which is the root element of the Card Reader Config:
<config> <HtmlReceiptTemplate><![CDATA[ /// ------ Html Template goes here --------- //// ]]></HtmlReceiptTemplate> </config>
Since we are using a Java Template Engine called Chunk which is not pure XML we need to wrap it in a CDATA section.
How a Template Engine Works
The template engine enables us to combine a Receipt Template and a set of specific values to render a receipt:
Template Elements
Since the final HTML Receipt must be converted later to the printer format, we are using only a subset of HTML to make this conversion task easier. See Html Print Format
Adding Logic to the Template
Chunk supports a number of commands or expressions to control what we render. For instance we could print the error message only if the transaction failed:
<footer> ... {% if ($SUCCESS_RESPONSE != 1) %} <div> <p class="large center">{$ERROR_MESSAGE}</p> </div> <div class="separator solid" style="margin-top: 10px; height: 2px; margin-bottom: 10px;"></div> {% endif %} ... </footer>

This is how it looks rendered as HTML in the mPOS Handpoint app:
