Description

Display an entity in its own context. This mean that the entity content will be parsed and transformation executed on it as if it was rendered alone. For example a document will produce the exact same result as if you were displaying it directly.

It for examples allows to include a content page in the current page. To include an entity in the current context see include macro.

Usage

From WYSIWYG Editor
