F2C Template Parameters
There are several template parameters which can be used in creating the content of your F2C Articles. Some are based on Joomla information, others on the Fields you have created for the Article submission form.
The template parameters can be used in combination with almost any plugin to get the desired effect for your content without the person submitting the information needing any html/plugin knowledge.
