Quick question: Inside a tag definition block in my behavior, can I call  
render\_tag that is available to the Radius context? If so, what’s the  
proper syntax? I’d like to have a case where a tag can be used as a  
singleton or expanded, and I’d like not to repeat the contents of  
sub-tags  
inside their parent.

TIA

The \<r:link /\> tag does that:

[http://dev.radiantcms.org/radiant/browser/trunk/radiant/app/models/page\_context.rb#L318](http://dev.radiantcms.org/radiant/browser/trunk/radiant/app/models/page_context.rb#L318)

The method is TagBinding#render.

Ok… helps if I read the documentation more carefully - the answer is  
yes.  
Thanks anyway!

One more question about that, John. Does the tag.render call take into  
account the current nesting, or do I need to fully specify the tag?  
Thanks  
again.
