<insertText>

Description

This tag provides information about what to insert in the document and where to insert it. It contains the text to insert. Parts of the text that are customized should be indicated by using the @@parameterName@@ format.

In some cases, such as a translator-only participant, you might not need this tag.

Type

Block tag.

Required

No.

Value

The value is the text to insert in the document. If any parts of the text need customizing, they can be passed in later as parameters. Parameters should be embedded within two at (@@) signs. Because this text can interfere with the EDML structure, it should use the CDATA construct, as shown in the following example:

<insertText location="aboveHTML"> <![CDATA[<%= @@recordset@@).cursorType %>]]></insertText>

When the text is inserted, the @@recordset@@ parameter is replaced by a recordset name that the user supplies. For more information on conditional and repeating code blocks, see the "Adding Custom Server Behaviors" chapter in Getting Started with Adobe Dreamweaver.
