Re-Using Content

Re-Using content is one of the most powerful functions OmniUpdate offers. The following best practices will help you re-use content with powerful results.

Using Include Files

The easiest way to re-use content is by calling snipits of code placed in files that are included by the web server when the page is loaded.  Server-Side Includes as they are commonly called offer you an efficient way to re-use content in multiple web pages.

Using XML/XSL

An even more powerful way to re-use content is by pulling content from XML files.  XML content can be marked with standard tags that provide XSL and other languages to parse and modify the content before it is styled by the CSS and output to the web page.
