Syntax

Special tags allow you to position user-editable regions anywhere within your page or section templates.

Tag parameter names can be upper or lower case, and the parameters may appear in any order within the tag.

Tag parameter values may only contain letters, numbers and underscore.

IDs are case sensitive and may not contain spaces. IDs MUST NOT START WITH A NUMBER!

It is not necessary to enclose parameter values in quotes.

Examples:

<si5 id=edit3 type=text>

<si5 id="img6" type='imageSource'>

<SI5 TYPE=IMAGETARGET ID=img_3>

<SI5 ID='link_3' type="linktarget">

All of the above are acceptable.

Every <si5> tag (apart from the special tags for navigation and the main user content) must have an id. If id's are duplicated within a template then editing one area with this id will change the content in all areas with the same id.

The same ID can be used in different templates without any problem.
