Is it possible to insert txp tags in article body? If so, how would I do that without getting errors?

It depends upon what tags you want to use.

I think that article_custom will not work in article body but you can use txp:if_article_id in the presentation tab to achieve the required result.

Actually the article custom tag have a specified form. The specified form has everything I need for the article.

No. You just can’t use article_custom inside another article. You could simply use an another method. In example put the <txp:article_custom /> inside form or page template. Also, the <txp:article_custom />’s form wouldn’t anyway work inside another article – meaning if you want to pull the content form that article, it just doesn’t pass the global ID. You must use for that <txp:output_form form="" /> or put the tags to the article form that is first place used by the <txp:article /> tag.
Article inside article doesn’t make sense – and it doesn’t work. What els means is, place to your article form:
<txp:if_article_id id="44">
<txp:article_custom id="66" />
</txp:if_article_id>But that doesn’t make sense, as it isn’t needed. Also that really does slow your site down, as it makes extra queries per article.

Re: txp tags in article body
Ok, I got it figured out. I just had to use a bunch of tags: if_category, if_individual_article, and else

Re: txp tags in article body
One could of course simply try and see if it works. Looking TXP code, I suspect that article_custom can be used inside an article, just as it can be used on an individual article page/template. It’s not something that is (well) tested or even officially supported, but that doesn’t necessarily mean it doesn’t work.

I meant trying to pass values from article to article, otherwice that is kinda like causing only extra queries, as the other article is just articles containing article. Better would be use that article tag individually or if you need extra output, then output_form, but there is also query pitfall.

article_custom can be used to get more flexible layout on recent_articles.
