Learn the syntax and accepted attributes for each dynamic tag in L&L

Let’s take a look at some of the rules for writing L&L markup. Many tags will have their own unique format based on how the tag works, but the syntax below sets the ground rules that apply across the entire markup language.

📄️ Creating a simple template

L&L is powerful enough to build entire site themes, but we’ll start by looking at a basic template example to get familiar with the fundamentals.
