Parameter
Description
ITEM-METADATA Inserts item metadata.
This parameter is the main way of accessing information about the item.
ITEM-METADATA-DUMP Inserts the item's metadata tree.
This is useful when writing new templates and you want to see what metadata the item has.
ITEM-METADATA-TYPE Inserts the format of the specified item metadata ("text", "html", or "unknown").
This parameter is most useful when used with a mode=atom10 argument which restricts the output to "text" or "html", making it suitable for generating Atom 1.0 output.

This is useful when writing new templates and you want to see everything Awasu knows about the item.

OFFLINE-ITEM-URL A special URL that will show a feed item even when you are offline.
ITEM-RELATED-LINKS-INFO An HTML fragment that lists the related links for a feed item.
While an item's links are available via its metadata, this parameter does additional processing such as eliminating duplicates, the URL for the item itself, Atom service links, etc.
METADATA-MODULE-BLOCK Inserts template code for any active metadata modules.
This parameter takes a single argument specifying which piece of template code to insert (channelDescription, channelDetails, itemDescription or itemDetails).
