For example: a list view is publishing usually the elements: * a title * a subtitle * a short (sometimes) An administrator allocates to each element fields like * subtitle: margin_subtitle // teaser_subtitle // subtitle // my_extension_subtitle This means: xBlog is looking for a value from a field margin_subtitle and if it is empty, xBlog looks for a value from a field teaser_subtitle, and if it is empty, it takes the next for rendering. And so on. This concept enables a ready-to-use configuration for most of use cases.
