LiveText tags

The LiveText tag can be used in any place that goes into a page generation engine. This is done in all templates, dql and page. The LiveText can be a single string or .-separated. When a single name the current context is what is looked up, when .-separated the global context is used. In the global context you have a lot of fixed name spaces to lookup. This document gives you all these.

app

name The repository name. Ex [{app.name}]
path The repository path. Ex. [{app.path}]

page

The page context is the current page rendered. This can be a dql or a page and any templates used for any of these share the current page context when rendered. This is why [{page.Name}] in the title of a template gives different results for each page the template is used.
