Special xHV Tags

Components, and by extension, views can contain special xml tags that Controllers will use as landmarks when Interpolating the template into a proper view. This table describes those tags and their functions. These are not to be confused with xHV View Attributes.

Both xHV Tags and xHV Attributes are defined in xhvHtmlTempaltingSyntax.bas
