09 - Passing Values to Embedded Templates
Embedded templates in ExpressionEngine are great for centralizing the storage of certain snippets of code; but sometimes - like with a Page Title - they need to display things that are unique to the page where they are being viewed. I’ve included the title tags in the embedded html_header template, which is great for centralizing our doctype and stylesheet link; but, I still want unique page titles for SEO & Bookmarks. How to have both? By using Embed Variables for the Embedded Template.

In this post I’ll work through the process of creating embedded templates from the repeatable elements on the index page template.
