2 Idoc Script Application

Idoc Script is the server-side custom scripting language for Content Server. It enables you to reference variables, conditionally include content in HTML pages, and loop over results returned from queries. Because Idoc Script is evaluated on the server side rather than the client side, page elements are processed after the browser has made a request, but before the requested page is returned to the client.

Idoc Script is used primarily for the presentation of HTML templates and configuration settings.
