How to use the custom tag's "insert attribute"

I also would appreciate that people who have used this custom tag to something special and usefull, publish their code at the "Contributions" section with urls to the examples.

Would be a great way to get new ideas for the use of this functionallity.

And Brendan, yes, you can make custom tags the way you want with a lot of different code..
- you can do a fetch from the database and show the most active users in the forum through a template (ez.no uses a custom tag for this here: http://www.ez.no/community/stat)
- you can make factboxes as standard in the demo
- you can make hr's, have a custom tag for your company logo, so that you don't have to upload logo, related it to the page which is too much work
++++
- you can use variables (input fields) where the users themselves decide the values.

Hi,

A simple example to change standard template factbox.tpl, supposed that you have added attribute 'color':

<div align="center">
<table bgcolor="#eeeeee">
<tr>
    <td>
    <font color={$color"}>
    {$content}
    </font>
    </td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>

The point is that all added attribute will be available in the template and you can use these to make complex template.
