## \ReplaceTokensWithFile
jump to top

Replaces tokens in the original input with the contents of a file.

The file to be used is controlled by the name of the token which corresponds to the basename of the file to be used together with the optional pre and postfix strings that is possible to set.

By default all HTML entities in the file is replaced by the corresponding HTML entities. This behaviour can be controlled by the "translatehtml" parameter.

Supported parameters are:

     prefix         string Text to be prefixed to token before using as filename
     postfix        string Text to be prefixed to token before using as filename
     dir            string The directory where the files should be read from
     translatehtml  bool   If we should translate all HTML entities in the file.
