Re: Is there a single reference for all MiniVend tags?

["Kris Kelley" <sysadmin@jahoopa.com>]

******    message to minivend-users from "Kris Kelley" <sysadmin@jahoopa.com>     ******

Of course, after I posted my original question, I found the tag 
reference.  That'll teach me.

However, even the tag reference didn't list all tags, and I'm still a 
little unsure about how a few tags work.  My confusion isn't helped 
when the documentation says something like "[condition] is only used 
with a [if-explicit] tag," but in browse.html of the "simple" demo 
catalog, a [condition] tag is used within a [loop-change][/loop-
change] pair.

I think I've figured it out, though, so I'd like to ask if this is a 
correct interpretation of what's going on in browse.html:

[tag each products] creates a list of all the entries in the products 
database.

[sort products:category products:artist products:title] sorts that 
list, first by category, then by artist, then by title.

[loop-change 1] sets up a conditional that will be tested every time a 
new category is found (the "1"st sort criteria).

[condition][loop-field category][/condition] sets up the condition to 
be tested; in this case, whether or not there actually is a category 
for this next batch of products.

[/loop-change 1] closes the area of HTML affected by the conditional.

Am I warm?
