JSP Support - Taglib ● startTemplate ● Agenda The startTemplate tag bootstrap's the WEF via a "script" element that executes a webscript, this tag should therefore be placed in the "head" section of your page. ● markContent ● The markContent tag indicates an editable area of the page. The tag renders an edit icon that when clicked displays a form for editing the corresponding Alfresco content and/or properties. ● endTemplate ● Responsible for initializing AWE with details of all the marked content areas on the page. It also renders a "script" element that executes the WEF resources webscript which starts the process of downloading all the assets required to render and display the toolbar and all configured plugins, this tag should therefore be placed just before the closing body element.
