string loadTemplate(string $file)

Load and buffer a template file and return its content as string. The Automad object gets passed as parameter to be available for all plain PHP within the included file.

This is basically the base method to load a template without parsing the Automad markup. It just gets the parsed PHP content.

Before returning the markup, all comments <# ... #> get stripped.

Note that even when the it is possible to use plain PHP in a template file, all that code will be parsed first when buffering, before any of the Automad markup is getting parsed. That also means, that is not possible to make plain PHP code really interact with any of the Automad placeholder markup.

Parameters

string $file

Return Value

string The buffered output
