I want to show two specific articles on a page/section
How do i have two articles display on one Page / Section?
I want to have the user be able to edit a couple of specific entries that appear on the About Page.,
I am assuming it is used with the ID function but i am unable to find an example of how to construct the tag.

I’m not sure I understood. What you want is display two article in the About page?
If this is your case you can do that with article_custom using the id attribute.
Is this your case?

Yes, but on that page there is no example of how to output an article entry by id #.
Assuming i have an article id 73 and an article id 81, what would the tag structure be?
can one use entry_id=“73” e.g.: <txp:article entry_id=“73” /> ??

You can use this:
<txp:article_custom id="73,81" />
The order of id isn’t the final sort criteria.

Millie grazie for your quick reply.
As I want one article to appear in one area and another on another adjacent area I will use that tag twice in my Page and display the entry by id .
PS I have always found the lack of concrete examples on the tag Reference page to be frustrating.

You can always request a wiki account and add better examples yourself :-)

EDIT: Sorry, I killed your post because I hit ‘Edit’ instead of ‘Quote’. Bah, fat mouse. I’ve put it back to (almost) how it was.

I added a new example using wornout’s code.

Ummm, that’s the <txp:article_id /> page, not <txp:article_custom />! Michael’s added it on the latter page.
