4## All dynamic elements in a structure can be accessed as a Velocity variable. 

5## 

6## The given structure: 

7## 

8## <root> 

9##   <dynamic-element name="main-text" type="text_area"> 

10##     <dynamic-element name="sub-image" type="image"></dynamic-element> 

11##     <dynamic-element name="sub-text" type="text"></dynamic-element> 

12##   </dynamic-element> 

13##   <dynamic-element name="more-text" type="text_area"></dynamic-element> 

14##   <dynamic-element name="ms-list" type="multi-list"> 

15##     <dynamic-element name="chocolate" type="Chocolate"></dynamic-element> 

16##     <dynamic-element name="strawberry" type="Strawberry"></dynamic-element> 

17##     <dynamic-element name="vanilla" type="Vanilla"></dynamic-element> 

18##   </dynamic-element> 

19## </root> 

20## 

21## The dynamic element "main-text" can be accessed in the following ways: 

22## 

23## $main-text.getName()     - The name "main-text" 

24## $main-text.getData()     - The data in the article for main-text 

25## $main-text.getType()     - The type "text-area" 

26## $main-text.getChildren() - A collection with two nodes (sub-image and 

27##                            sub-text) that can be used in the #foreach clause 

28## $main-text.getSiblings() - A collection of elements with the name 

29##                            "main-text". This will only return more than one 

30##                            element if this element is repeatable. 

31## 

32## One special accessor exists for elements of type "multi-list": 

33## 

34## $ms-list.getOptions() - A collection with up to three string entries 

35##                         (chocolate, strawberry, or vanilla) that can be used 

36##                         in the #foreach clause 

37## 

38## Another special accessor exists for elements of type "link_to_layout": 

39## 

40## $linkToPage.getUrl() - The URL that links to the selected page in the current 

41##                        community, organization, etc. 

42## 

43## The variable $journalTemplatesPath can be used to include another Journal 

44## template, e.g. #parse ("$journalTemplatesPath/LAYOUT-PARENT") 

45## 

46## The variable $viewMode specifies which mode the article is being viewed in. 

47## For example, if $viewMode evaluates to "print", that means the user clicked 

48## the print icon to view this article.
