Template tags
Template tags are used in the template as follows:
<?php echo newsbox('News01');?>
Alternatively, a shorter notation is also possible:
<?=newsbox('News01');?>
The example shows the integration of the (hidden) CMSimple_XH page “News01” as newsbox at the place where this code is located in the template.

Glossary
Admin menu
The Admin menu is the control center of the system. All CMS actions are controlled via this menu. It appears only in the backend, that is, only when you are logged in to the system.
Admin mode
By admin mode, we mean the state CMSimple_XH is in after logging in. In admin mode, the control and administration of the whole CMS is possible. Normally (there are exceptions) the content is also maintained in admin mode.
Since the admin mode is not visible and accessible for website visitors, it is sometimes called backend – in contrast to frontend, which corresponds to what is displayed to visitors.
Login
Login refers to the process of logging in to the CMS. The authentication is done with a login password. After login, you are in the so-called “Admin mode” – also called “Backend”. With the login, the system starts a session, which should be closed after finishing all work with logout (log off).
Newsbox
A Newsbox is a page that can be displayed within another page.
Templates
Templates are design patterns for websites that behave like masks. They determine the place where elements appear and influence their appearance.
