The Pike tag is an RXML tag, allowing the user to insert bits of Pike
code into RXML pages. This is very convenient, if the function needed
exists as a RXML tag, use it, otherwize, write a small Pike function
that solves the problem. Unfortunatly it is also dangerous. The Pike
code within the tag has full access to the server. Therefore, it is
important that only trusted users have access to the Pike tag.
It is also very important to make
sure that all user input is quoted properly before being inserted in a
web page.
As with all Pike development in Challenger, error messages will be
reported together with a backtrace, making it easy to pinpoint any
problems.
