Adding server-side dynamic content to theme.html

You can identify dynamic content spots in theme.html so that the server-side theme parser pulls in dynamic content to fill them. Dynamic content changes for every user, page, or other server state, so you cannot define it statically in the theme file. Instead, it is inserted into the response at run time.

A dynamic content spot is composed of two components: rel="dynamic-content" and href.

  • rel="dynamic-content"

    The theme template parser recognizes the element rel-"dynamic-content". It resolves the href attribute and inserts its output into the response.

  • href

    The href can point to any URI that is resolved by the resource addressability framework.

The following example is a special content spot that renders the referenced layout template and content of the current page:

<a rel="dynamic-content" href="lm:template"></a>

The following example outputs the footer:

<a rel="dynamic-content" href="dyn-cs:id:st_footer"></a>
