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 &lt; > as &gt; and & as &amp;. 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.

pike

For inserting into Pike strings, for use with the <pike> tag.

js, javascript

For inserting into Javascript strings.

mysql

For inserting into MySQL SQL queries.

sql, oracle

For inserting into SQL queries.
