Editor Side Includes
If you are familiar with Server Side Includes (SSI), you should quickly understand the concept of Editor Side Includes (ESI). Server Side Includes are special tags that are evaluated by the web server when a user requests a document.For example the SSI tag
<!--#echo var="LAST_MODIFIED" -->
will be replaced by the server software with the date and time of the last modification of the requested document every time a the document is requested.
Much like Server Side Includes, Editor Side Includes (ESI) are special tags that get evaluated by 40tude HTML every time you save a document or you manually compile an ESI tag. For example the ESI tag
<esidate></esidate>
will be replaced with:
<esidate>31.12.1999</esidate>
every time you save a document. Of course the current date will be used, but 31.12.1999 will be used throughout this help file.
The esidate tag offers a quick way to add a last modification notice to your pages:
"Last modified: <esidate>31.12.1999</esidate>"
Besides the esidate tag there are further ESI tags that let you implement complex operations, including mathematical and conditional operation with variables or importing text from other text, CSV or Excel files.
