Attribute Name Type Required Default Description file string Yes n/a The name of the template file to include assign string No n/a The name of the variable that the output of include will be assigned to [var ...] [var type] No n/a variable to pass local to template {include} tags are used for including other templates in the current template. Any variables available in the current template are also available within the included template. The {include} tag must have the attribute "file", which contains the template resource path. You can optionally pass the assign attribute, which will specify a template variable name that the output of {include} will be assigned to instead of displayed. You can also pass variables to included templates as attributes. Any variables explicitly passed to an included template as attributes are only available within the scope of the included file. Attribute variables override current template variables, in the case they are named alike. Use the syntax for template resources to include files outside of the $template_dir directory.
