Syntax
<txp:text />
The text tag is a single tag which is primarily used to return localized language strings from the txp_lang
database table.
Note: only language strings designated with a type of common
or public
are available to use. All other language string types are reserved for use within the Textpattern system itself.
Attributes
Tag will accept the following attributes (case-sensitive):
escape="html"
v4.6.0+- Escape HTML entities such as
<
,>
and&
within text. - Values:
html
or unset. - Default:
html
. item="text"
- Piece of text to display, preferably an item from the
name
column of thetxp_lang
database table. If the given item matches a key there, the contents of the respective item in thedata
column will be returned. Otherwise, whatever you supply as theitem
value is returned verbatim.
Examples
Example 1: Display some localized text
<txp:older>
<txp:text item="older" />
</txp:older>
Outputs the text ‘older’ inside the <txp:older />
tag, respecting the current Textpattern language, instead of using the tag like this: <txp:older>older</txp:older>
which would always render the English text ‘older’, it replaces the contents with the value assigned to the name ‘older’ in the current language. So you would see a link with the word ‘älter’ if you were using German de
as the Textpattern site language.
Other tags used: older.
