Description
These extensions allow the easy inclusion of dynamic content in, for example, page and template paths. No knowledge of a programming language is needed to make effective use of tags and each tag is used for a specific task like creating a menu or a breadcrumb trail.
Information about how to create a tag is found in the Webgen::Tag API documentation.
Tag Templates
The output of some tags can be customized by providing a custom rendering template via a configuration option.
This configuration option needs the (a)(l)cn of a template or page node as value and this node needs
to have a specially named block (normally of the form tag.TAGNAME). This block is then used for
rendering the output.
This mechanism allows you, for example, to add such a block to the default website template so that there is no need to create a separate template.
