Can anyone please explain the meaning of this in XML?

<b:if cond='data:view.isLayoutMode'>
<b:template-skin>
<![CDATA[
/**/
]]>
</b:template-skin>
</b:if>

I just want to know two things : -

  1. what is <b:if cond='data:view.isLayoutMode'>...</b:if>
  2. What is the difference between <b:skin>...</b:skin> and <b:template-skin>...</b:template-skin>

I even googled it. But didn't find my answer. It would be of great help if you explain me about these. Thanks in advance!

Solution

  • b:if is the Blogger conditional operator, for example if I want to show something only on homepage I will use it like this

    <b:if cond='data:view.isHomepage'>
  <!--show this only on homepage-->
</b:if>

    you can find more info in Blogger Help

    <b:if cond='data:view.isLayoutMode'>...</b:if> is used to show something only on "Layout" tab in the dashboard

    b:skin to set styles to the entire blog

    b:template-skin to set syles to blog "Layout" tab only
