Document Resource Tags
Right about now you may be wondering how Etomite can make your site development endeavor a more productive and exciting experience. There are several built-in Etomite resources which can make working with dynamic content a lot easier and we'll sample some of those here.
Etomite stores all document resources in the site_content database table and we can access any of the available data fields using the following resource tags. Each tag is followed by a brief explanation of the corresponding data fields general purpose. It should be noted, however, that only those fields fields requested in the database query will be available and several of the API functions only retrieve a subset of these fields by default. To display one of these data fields within a page template, document, or chunk, you would use the document tag format, [ *field* ], and the parser will replace the tag with the data fields current value. As an example, by placing the [ *pagetitle* ] tag here in this sentence the parser will display Document Tags, the title of this page.
