A tag for inserting variables into just about any context. By default
anything within #'s will be interpreted as a variable. Thus #name#
will be replaced by the value of the variable name. ## will be
replaced by a #.
By default, the variable will be HTML quoted, that is, < will be
inserted as < > as > and & as &. However,
there are instances when that is not what you want, for example, when
inserting variables into SQL queries. Therefore, the quoting can be
controlled by #variable : quote=scheme#. The different quoting
schemes are:
- none
-
No quoting. This is dangerous and should never be used unless you have
total control over the contents of the variable. If the variable
contains an RXML tag, the tag will be parsed.
- html
-
The default quoting, for inserting into regular HTML or RXML.
- dtag
-
For inserting into HTML or RXML attributes that are quoted with ". For
example <img src="/base/#image#">.
- stag
-
For inserting into HTML or RXML attributes that are quoted with '. For
example <img src='/base/#image#'>.
- url

For inserting variables into URLs.
