heitml Repeaters

Some components display certain repeated information. For example dbdisplay displays several database records. A shopping basket displays various products in the shopping basket. A multiple component just displays the same information multiple times. These components are called Repeaters.

There are various ways to layout repeated information. For example a table, a list (ul), a comma separated list, or just a couple of paragraphs. heitml offers several repeatable layouts for this purpose. Repeatable layouts are certain components described below. Exactly one repeatable layout must be used within each repeater. Every combination of Repeater and Repeatable Layout is possible.

Consider a table repeatable layout contained in a dbdisplay. This will display the result of a database query using a table layout. Please note that the table itself including the headline is not displayed multiple times. Only the second row of the table is displayed multiple times! However, if the query does not have a result, the complete table vanishes.

So the content of a Repeater is displayed once (provided there is any data). Only a Repeatable Layout inside will contain a part that is displayed multiple times.
