General Information

Description

The TagProcessor plugin, apart from the Core/FileHandler, is the main workhorse. It is responsible for parsing HTML content and replacing special constructs, so called tags, with dynamic content. For more information on how these tags look like, how they are used and why they are useful, have a look at the page file format description!

Each tag has a unique name and an associated handler plugin. Therefore it is very easy to define new tags. webgen already comes with many tag plugins that handle simple things, like including a file, to advanced things, like generating a menu (the menus used on this homepage are generated dynamically with webgen). These tag plugins reside in the Tag namespace.
