Includes

[tigersi]

Hi John,

I've been using the Includes process you suggested to me (several weeks or so ago). The process is working nifty in general. What I'm finding though, is that I'm starting to prefer to pick and choose which article to include the Includes in. For example, if I have a short article, I don't always want to include an ad in it because then my ads all visually clump together.

However, I really like the zippy ease of using an Include to direct to a file.

So, with that background, here's my question. I want to make a decision on where to do an Include on a per-article basis. Sometimes it might be at the article's end and sometimes in the middle for a long article.

I tried to simply copy and insert the command into the source but, when I did, it came out as text.

1) Is there a trick to making it happen in the article content and not in the template?

2) Or in another way, is there a trick so that you can change the template so that if there is at least XX lines of article content, then insert an Include and if it's less than XX don't?

Thanks for any insights!

It is not possible to use the includes within your articles themselves.
