Tags Show Up In Page
Question
When viewing my page, I see the Movable Type Template Tags instead of the actual data.
Answer
There are several reasons why this might occur:
The page was not built using a Movable Type Template.
In order for Template Tags to be processed, they must be read from a Template stored in the system.
In other words, you cannot create a file directly on your server and include these tags, because Movable Type has no way to know it exists. You should create a new Index Template and place your code there, specifying an Output File for the published page.
You've placed the code in a Template Module linked to an external file, which is the same file that you're viewing in your browser.
Tags in a Template Module are only processed when that module is called by another template within the system. They are not rebuilt independently of other templates.
The file is "linked" to itself.
When using the Link this template to a file option, you cannot use the same file name as the Output File for that template. Choose a different name for the linked file, save the change, then rebuild the template.
