Widgets

A widget is a template fragment: a bundle of HTML, JSP and CSS code that performs a particular function such as displaying a content item or dateline on a publication page. As a publication designer, however, you do not need to think about this internal structure: you will see widgets as special content items that you can work with in Content Studio in much the same way as ordinary content items. You can create, delete and modify them in much the same way as ordinary content items. The main difference is that widgets are placed in templates (the special section pages described in Templates) rather than in ordinary section pages.
