Reference > Layout Tags > tag parentLayout.php

List of basic <% .. %> tags applicable in layout follows. In layout class, there is a method defined to generate content for every tag except special ones (which are pre-generated by system core and passed to layout class).

The naming convention for those methods is as follows:

Appearance of <% anyTag %> in template will lead to search for a createAnyTag method in layout class, and to the replace of <% anyTag %> with createAnyTag method return value. This method should be defined in following sense:

protected function createAnyTag($params, $subParams = false) {
  // method code
  return $s; // string
}
