Managing Content Sections

Managing Content Sections
In the content sections you put all text, stories, forms, templates, javascript and all things that are not MDScript code. Instead of putting all content in one big piece, you can separate it by placing a content separator, thats exactly this string: <!-- content separator -->
All the pieces of content separated by such a separator, will be available for use in the MDScript under the @content array starting at index zero.

Example:
 

Content part 1
<!-- content separator -->
Some other content
<!-- content separator -->
A template [[test]] with variables
<!-- content separator -->
A form <form ...> ... </form>

This will be in the MDScript seen as:
 

@content[0] = Content part 1;
@content[1] = Some other content;
@content[2] = A template ... with variables;
@content[3] = A form <form ...> ... </form>;

This way of separating content is very useful. You could display different content sections depending on different rules you set in the script. Also its very important when you use templates.

Isn't this a mistake? I think that

Content part 1
<!-- content separator -->
Some other content
<!-- content separator -->
A template [[test]] with variables
<!-- content separator -->
A form <form ...> ... </form>


Would generate:

@content[0] = Content part 1;
@content[1] = Some other content; <-------------------This line got skipped.
@content[2] = A template ... with variables;
@content[3] = A form <form ...> ... </form>;

Very good point, Mur must have been rather tired when he wrote this

Fixed

By the way, it's
[b]<!-- content separator -->[/b]

Not
[b]<!-- content section -->[/b]


That caused me some minor headaches earlier.
