txp tag inside of another?
I’m trying to use this in a page:
<code><txp:article_custom form=“pagedefault” section=”<txp:section />” /></code>
For some reason it’s not working (outputs all articles and after the last article it shows <code>” /></code>), am I not allowed to output a txp tag inside of another? How would I achieve something like this?
Using 4.0.2

Re: txp tag inside of another?
What is it you want to do? Output articles in the current section?
<code>
<txp:if_section name=”“>
<txp:else />
<txp:article listform=“pagedefault” />
</txp:if_section>
</code>
If you only want it for certain sections, use <txp:if_section name="section1,section2"> and no <txp:else />.

No, you are not allowed, as far as I know.

No you can’t, but looking at your tag I would suggest that <code><txp:article form=“pagedefault” /></code> would do exactly the same thing in any section because it is context-sensitive.

Re: txp tag inside of another?
My problem is that I want to do the following with the site:
Use ONE template, but have different sections (so each section will be a page). EACH page should display a list of articles obviously based on that section. Then, each article when clicked on would just show the article on the basic /article/ page.
How could I do this without using a billion pages/categories/sections?
An example: http://www.winatpoker.com (site I created with textpattern). On the left menu you can click, say “Omaha 8 or Better Articles” and then find a list of those articles. Then you can click each article to read them.
On that site I used a bunch of unique pages/sections/categories for each one. For example: Omaha8orbetterarticles, Omaha8orbetterrules, Omaha8orbetterstrategy for all each page/section/cat. I know its possible to make it using just one template, but how would I do so?
EDIT: Got it using the advice above, i had typed it in wrong but now I see it works. Thanks.

For each section:-
<code><txp:if_section name=“sectionName”>
<txp:article />
</txp:if_section></code>
<br />
You can add form and limit to the article tag as well.
If several sections use the same template you can use a comma-separated list in the name.

Sencer once provided a method of a tag-in-tag workaround.
