~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Rendering a content element

The ViewHelper that we probably use most often.

Render content element from the table ``tt_content`` with the ``uid: 123``.

.. code-block:: php

	{nnt3:contentElement(uid:123)}

Render content element from the ``tt_content`` table where ``tt_content.content_uuid = 'footer'``.

.. code-block:: php

	{nnt3:contentElement(uid:'footer', field:'content_uuid')}

Replace variables in the rendered content element.
Allows you to create a content element in the backend that works with fluid variables - e.g. for a mail template where the recipient's name should appear in the text.

.. code-block:: php

	{nnt3:contentElement(uid:123, data:'{greeting:\'Hello!\'}')}
	{nnt3:contentElement(uid:123, data:feUser.data)}

A ``contentUid`` does not necessarily have to be passed to render the variables. HTML code can also be parsed directly:

.. code-block:: php

	{data.bodytext->nnt3:contentElement(data:'{greeting:\'Hello!\'}')}

| ``@return string``
