Chapter 59 Context Setup Tags

The context setup tags, which start with the prefix obtain, set up the context (storing the container or provider in question into the pageContext). Whatever tag operation that happens within these tags is done on the provider that is set in the context.

Table 59-1 describes the context setup tags in the tag libraries. The table has four columns: the first column lists the tag name, the second describes what the tag does, the third column gives what TLD file the tag is in, and the fourth lists that tag’s attributes with brief comments.
