It allows for conditional evaluation and output. There are four commands that belong to the If family - If, ElseIf, Else, and EndIf. Each If command has to have a corresponding EndIf command... text/html 2007-01-24T10:15:53+01:00 http://sdp.soapi.com/ptpscript:commands:include?rev=1169633753 The Include command allows additional template files or sections to be included into the current template. Each included file or section is parsed as a separate entity, and its resulting output inserted into the current template output. This means t... text/html 2007-01-24T10:15:53+01:00 http://sdp.soapi.com/ptpscript:commands:loop?rev=1169633753 The Loop command is a very flexible, powerful method of handling any type of repeating structure. It can iterate through Arrays, or repeat a set number of times, or even just repeat indefinitely until told to quit. In each case, the data between the... text/html 2007-01-24T19:39:57+01:00 http://sdp.soapi.com/ptpscript:commands:macro?rev=1169667597 The Macro command allows a template section, containing data and/or PTPScript code, to be defined as a macro. In this context, a macro is essentially a sub-template, and behaves very much like a function. By default, it has its own Variable "sc... text/html 2007-01-24T10:15:53+01:00 http://sdp.soapi.com/ptpscript:commands:return?rev=1169633753 The Return command allows the execution of the current template, macro, or section to be cut short, optionally returning a value which will override any output being generated by the code being returned from. There is just one command in the Return... text/html 2007-01-24T10:15:53+01:00 http://sdp.soapi.com/ptpscript:commands:section?rev=1169633753 The Section command allows a template section, containing data and/or PTPScript code, to be defined. In this context, a section is essentially a sub-template, just like an included template file, except that it is not in a separate file. It has its ... text/html 2007-01-24T10:15:53+01:00 http://sdp.soapi.com/ptpscript:commands:show?rev=1169633753 The Show and Hide commands allow areas of text to be marked as data, and therefore ignored by the PTP engine. These areas can contain PTPScript code, Placeholder symbols, etc. without being processed as PTPScript code. For instance, one use would be... text/html 2007-01-24T10:15:53+01:00 http://sdp.soapi.com/ptpscript:commands:use?rev=1169633753 The Use command allows Directives to be set. A Directive is a core language setting. Once a Directive has been set, the behaviour of PTPScript will change accordingly, until another Directive in the same group is set. There is just one command in t... text/html 2007-01-24T10:15:53+01:00 http://sdp.soapi.com/ptpscript:commands:with?rev=1169633753 The With command allows a Variable or Array key to be specified and then referred to in shorthand. This allows statements to be focused on the item of data in question, and reduces the amount of code needed, thereby potentially reducing the opportun...
