## 3.5.5 Template Directives

Template directives are special tokens in a template that control how the text around them is processed.

Use template directives to control how attributes that support substitution strings are processed. Template directives are supported by Template Components, specific attributes of email templates, regions (cards, interactive grid, classic report, interactive reports) and theme templates (button, label, list, region, and page templates). Template directives are processed as part of client or server side substitutions. If an attribute supports template directives, Page Designer Help includes the text `Supports Server-side Template Directives` or `Supports Client-side Template Directives`.
