Snippets
A snippet is a small, ready-to-use piece of content in a file. Snippets can be re-used within the
same template, in all contexts and sections. They can contain any contents that a section can
have, such as text, images, variable data, dynamic tables, etc.
When a snippet is added to a section or a master page, a reference to it is placed in the source
code, but the content of the snippet itself is not added to the page. Modifying a snippet in a
section that it has been added to, actually modifies the snippet's source. If a snippet is used in
multiple locations (such as different contexts and sections), modifying one instance will modify
all of them at once.
When a snippet is added to different sections or contexts, it is displayed according to the
section's or context's stylesheet. This means that the same content can appear differently
depending on the styles applied to the section or context, but it still has the exact same
contents.
Adding a snippet
Before a snippet can be added to the content, the resource files that are related to the snippet,
such as image files and CSS files, have to be imported into the template file. Drag and drop the
files to the corresponding folders (Images and Stylesheets, respectively) on the Resources
pane. If you want to use external images, see "Images" on page 119.
Drag the snippet itself to the Snippets folder on the Resources pane, or create a new snippet
from an existing piece of content in the template (see "Creating a snippet" on the next page).
Tip
To export a snippet from your template, drag or copy/paste it out of the Snippets folder to a folder
on the local hard drive.
To add the snippet to the content of a section, drag the snippet from the Snippets folder on the
Resources pane to the desired location in a section.
