(see "Snippets" on page775) or hosted on a Content Management System or on another
location outside the template.
An optional selector allows you to retrieve only the content of matching elements.

To load a JavaScript file (.js) or a style sheet (.css) you can use loadtext(). See

In order to retrieve files from outside the template the file protocol is supported as well as the
http/https protocols.
The complete syntax of a fully qualified URL with the "file" protocol is: file://<host>/<path>. If
the host is "localhost", it can be omitted, resulting in file:///<path>, for example:
