Syntax

The Elements CMS gives you full control over how your content is displayed by supporting the Twig templating language — a fast, secure, and flexible engine widely used in modern content systems.

With Twig, you can dynamically output content, apply filters, and build custom logic directly into your website.

Item Syntax

• item.title

• item.featured

• item.excerpt

• item.datepublished

Pagination Syntax

• currentPage

• totalPages

• totalItems

• itemsPerPage

• hasPreviousPage

• hasNextPage

• previousPageUrl

• nextPageUrl

Twig Filter Examples

For example, if you need to ensure your title is uppercased you could append a pipe and upper text to the item.title tag, like this:

{{item.title}} 

Outputs: Hello world!

{{item.title|upper}}

Outputs: HELLO WORLD!
