Extreme Thumbnail Generator. Special tags.

Special tags

Special tags can be included in the text of HTML templates using the [# and #] symbols around them.

For example, to add a gallery title to the page you have to add the following special tag: [#gallery.title#]. Any special tag can be easily added using the following dialog window:

Insert special tag dialog window.

A special tag consists of two parts: the name of the object (for example, gallery) and the property of the object (for example, title) separated with point.

For example, tags of the Thumbnails page object will not be replaced in the image pages. Please see the complete list of objects and properties for details.
