PresentationArticle

Represents a content item - the basic component of an Escenic publication.

The actual content of a content item is stored in a PresentationArticle's fields, and the particular fields a content item has depend on its type: a review article, for example, will usually have different fields than a news article, and will definitely have different fields than an image or media object content item.

All of a PresentationArticle's content and relations can be accessed via its properties.

In version 5 of the Escenic Content Engine, a PresentationArticle can represent any type of content item - not just a text article such as a magazine article or newspaper story but also an image, media object or link. In older applications, however, these kinds of content item are represented by PresentationRelationImage, PresentationRelationMedia, PresentationRelationLink and so on. These older object types are still supported to ensure compatibility with older applications. Their use is deprecated, however, and you should not use them in new applications.

PresentationArticle has the properties described in the following sections.
