ALBUM This command returns a reference to the album object. The command must never be used alone. Rather it shall always be used in the form ALBUM.Field where Field is a specific field of the ALBUM object. See The ALBUM object for further details.

ECHO x The ECHO command prints the text given as parameter to standard error on execution time. No text is written to the output file. This command is merely intended for printing copyright messages or debugging output.

IF test/ENDIF The IF command is used to conditionally include or exclude the contained code in the output. If test resolves to true, the code between IF and ENDIF will be included in the output. See Tests for details on writing tests.

<{IF DEFINED("NEXT")}>
  <a href="<{IMAGE(NEXT).Link}>Next Image</a>
<{ENDIF}>
                  

IMAGE(n) The IMAGE(n) command returns the n-th image of the album (in the order given on the command line). The command must not be used alone, but always in the form IMAGE(n).Field where Field references one of the properties of the IMAGE object. See The IMAGE object for further details.

INCLUDE x This command adds the contents of file x to the output. The included file is NOT interpreted, so the template commands make no sense in there. This may be useful if you want to create a template with some information that is always changing from run to run. You may put that information into a file which you include via this command without modifying the template itself.

REM x The parameters of this command are simply ignored. It is intended to be used for comments in the template source.

WHILE test/ENDWHILE These two commands are used for constructing loops to repeat some code fragment over and over again. As long as test is true the code inside the loop will be interpreted and included in the output. See Tests for further informations about writing tests and the Example template for examples on using these commands.

ALBUM.Date The album's creation date. Set by the interpreter at initialization.

ALBUM.Index A link to the album's index file (default: index.html)

ALBUM.Time The album's creation time. Set by the interpreter at initialization.

ALBUM.Title The album's title as given on the command line.

ALBUM.Thumb_Size The album's thumbnail size.

IMAGE(n).Link The URL to the image's page inside the album. This will contain the HTML-file that contains the image.

IMAGE(n).Name The filename of the image file.

IMAGE(n).Url The URL to the image file inside the album. This will point to the image file that is contained in the pics/ subdirectory of the album.

IMAGE(n).Size The size (in bytes) of the image file.

IMAGE(n).Title The title of the image as read from the title file.

IMAGE(n).Thumb_Url The URL to the image's thumbnail file inside the album. This will point to the thumbnail that is contained in the pics/thumbs/ subdirectory of the album.

AND(x, y) This test checks whether both x and y are true. x and y are tests themselves.

DEFINED(x) This test checks whether the variable x (where x is given as a string, i.e. enclosed in "") is defined inside the systems variable store. A variable may either be defined by the system itself (e.g. the special variables PREV, NEXT etc.) by assigning a value to it inside the template (see Expressions).

EQUAL(x,y) Checks whether the values returned by the two expressions x and y are equal. Comparison is done as strings, numbers are converted first. Therefore EQUAL(1, "1") would result true.

GREATER(x,y) Returns true when x is greater then y. This is only useful for numbers so the interpreter will throw an error if x and y can not be converted to numbers.

LESSER(x,y) Returns true when x is lesser then y. This is only useful for numbers so the interpreter will throw an error if x and y can not be converted to numbers.

NOT(x) Negates the result of test x.

OR(x, y) This test checks either x or y or both are true. x and y are tests themselves.

x + y Adds two numbers. If the values of the two operands can not be converted to numbers, an error is thrown.

x - y Substracts two numbers. If the values of the two operands can not be converted to numbers, an error is thrown.

x * y Multiplies two numbers. If the values of the two operands can not be converted to numbers, an error is thrown.

x / y Divides x by y. If the values of the two operands can not be converted to numbers, an error is thrown. Note that the division is carried out using whole numbers. Therefore if the division can not be done without remainder, the remainder is discarded (e.g.: 3/2 yields 1 instead of 1.5).

x concat y Concats the two strings x and y. If either one is no string, it will be converted to a string value. Therefore you can concatenate a string and a number if you like.
