Name

file — include file into the current page verbatim

ATTRIBUTES

Attribute Pos. Req. Default Description
name Yes Yes Filename to include. Can't be arbitrary file if NoAbsolute is set.
type Yes File type: unix, mac or [dos|windows].
interpolate     0 interpolate output?
hide     0 Hide the tag return value?

DESCRIPTION

The tag inserts the contents of the named file, which is searched relative to the catalog root directory or any directories specified by the TemplateDir directive.

The file should normally be relative to the catalog directory. File names beginning with / or .. are not allowed if the Interchange server administrator has enabled NoAbsolute.

File contents are inserted verbatim and not reparsed for tags.

BEHAVIOR

This tag does not appear to be affected by, or affect, the rest of Interchange.

EXAMPLES

Example: Simple file include

[file /tmp/test]
<hr>
[file name=/tmp/test interpolate=1]

Our /tmp/test file could look like this:

Time is [time].

In the first line of the example, [time] will not be expanded to the actual time. In the third line it will, thanks to interpolate=1.


NOTES

To reparse file contents upon inclusion, use [include] or [file name=NAME interpolate=1].
