article Tag Library

This library contains tags that operate on PresentationArticle beans.

All the tags in this library operate on the current context's default article (content item), except use and list. In these cases you can specify the article to operate on using one of the following attributes or attribute combinations:

• article

• articleId

• name

• name and property

• source and sourceId

In order to use any article tags in a JSP file you must include the following prefix declaration in the file:

  <%@ taglib uri="http://www.escenic.com/taglib/escenic-article" prefix="article" %>

article is the prefix normally used for this tag library.
