article custom without using a form
sometimes i’d like to make an article_custom snippet, but i think adding forms is adding bulk. with javascript there is a way to write a script inside your browser’s location field, for example.
let’s say i want to make an article custom of my blog section that only shows the title. the form would just be title, when i could easily just write something like
<txp:article_custom section=“blog” shortForm=”<txp:title />” />
is this possible?

Try this (such mode is named as “container mode”
<txp:article_custom section="blog">
<txp:title />

yes, i should’ve checked but in the few years i have been using this i had no idea forms can be embedded right in the page. i will likely not use many forms moving forward :)

Elliott, I almost never use forms anymore except for repeating items like footers/headers or when it is required by a plugin. Your mileage may vary…

From Textbook:

that explains it Els! btw i consistently can’t figure out quoting here. i think it’s too much coding for a forum. is there any way they can implement something like tiny mce?

No editor is going to make Textile’s syntax act any different and the syntax isn’t really making friends with editors. You just really can’t quote block elements :-)

Strange how people work so differently. I use a lot of forms.
I prefer to do this so I can see the logic/flow easily esp. if I’m using lots of if/else statements.
I find it easier to debug.
There are 10 types of people in the world: those who understand binary, and those who don’t.
