Name

tmp — temporarily set value of scratch variable, with interpolation

ATTRIBUTES

Attribute Pos. Req. Default Description
name Yes Yes Name of the temporary scratch variable.
interpolate     1 interpolate input?
reparse     1 interpolate output?
hide     0 Hide the tag return value?

DESCRIPTION

The tag sets value of the named temporary scratch variable.

The variable is temporary in a way that Interchange adds its name to the list of variables to delete directly after the current page is processed and served. Except for being part of good design, temporary variables also speed up session write time in many cases.

By default, the provided value is interpolated before assignment. To not interpolate contents, use [tmpn] or provide interpolate=0 attribute to this tag.

BEHAVIOR

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

EXAMPLES

No examples are available at this time. We do consider this a problem and will try to supply some.

NOTES

See scratch glossary entry for a complete discussion.
