<txp:text />, wich is the purpose of this little shy tag?

Hi,
I have discovered this one recently. There is <a href=“http://textpattern.net/wiki/index.php?title=Txp:text_/”>documentation</a> about it.

But I can figure out the purpose of this plug-in.

Why will I need to use it if I can simple add the text without using txp:text?

I mean, it’s the same to do
<code><txp:text item=“ILoveTXP”></code> -> returns: ILoveTXP

than just simple writing:
ILoveTXP.

or am I wrong?

It is used to return localized language strings. You give it the key, it returns the value in the current language. If no value is found, it returns the key.

Ooh, that is nice! If I understand this correctly, you could add some user specific, often used, strings to the language file and call them with <txp:text item="..." /> whenever you like. I can see a use for that…

Sencer, thanks for replying.

Aaaaah, finally I get it… hihihi, thx

For something like <code><txp:text item=“name” /></code> it will return “Nombre”.
What a dumb question did I ask…
but it “inspired” me to write <a href=“http://forum.textpattern.com/viewforum.php?id=12”>this suggestion for forum category</a>.
