The distinction is a little blurry until you grasp the concept of parameterized tags. A tag, either from dryml taglib or your own, can have multiple points defined within it marking out places where the tag can be modified or code inserted. When calling:
<some-tag> <parameter-name:>Something</parameter-name:> It's telling some-tag to change the contents of 'parameter-name' parameter, to be "Something". While this: <some-tag> <parameter-name>Something</parameter-name> Is telling some-tag to change the default parameter's contents (often the whole tag), with tag 'parameter-name'. The ruby analogy would be: method(:parameter_name => :value) vs. method(parameter_name(value) ) The final bit notes that using a : with a field-name immediately following is a shorthand for the common action of changing context to a field on a tag call. <some-tag:field /> -> <some-tag field="field" /> On Tuesday, March 26, 2013 2:38:22 PM UTC-6, Quiliro Ordóñez wrote: > > http://www.hobocentral.net/manual/faq/colon does not make it clear in my > mind what the difference in the position of the colon does.
