XF 2.0 Templating language syntax and docs?

[JoshyPHP]

I've been reading the docs but I can't find a chapter that describes the templating language and expressions. Did I miss it?

There's no docs for that yet.

If you have something specific you want advice on, that shouldn't be a problem.

The syntax hasn't changed a great deal from XF1 (although there are lots of new tags, and some changes) so generally this is still valid:

https://xenforo.com/community/resources/template-syntax-xenforo-tags.2122/

The main thing to remember in XF2 is we use the xf: prefix for tag names rather than xen:.

Ok, I'll look into the XF1 doc as a starting point. I have another quick question if you don't mind: apparently it's possible to use templating elements inside of HTML attributes. Is that something intended and supported or just an accidental unsupported feature?

<b title="<xf:if is="$id == 1">...</xf:if>">...</b>

Yeah you can open up some advanced expressions within templates (for a number of uses). The expressions are, in some ways, very similar to PHP syntax, though not everything is supported there.

<b title="{{ $id == 1 ? 'One thing' : 'Another' }}">...</b>
