    Hi. New to the MODx world and trying out a few things for my custom site. Here is what I am trying to do :

    I have a bunch of static HTML pages which I am importing into MODx via Import HTML . They are assigned to a template which has a Auto-Tag template variable. I want to find a way whereby this template variable gets auto populated from the content for each of these pages while importing them.

    The static pages are generated via a build process and I can modify them in any way which helps MODx identify the content and search for the TV data. For e.g. I can create the pages like:

    <html>
    <body>
    ....
    </body>
    <tvdata>library,title,tools,downloads</tvdata>
    </html>

    So if the list in the tvdata tag can be populated in the TV, that should solve my purpose. Or even if there is another way I can dynamically update the TV for each of the page, that would be great.

    Apologies if this is a basic query or has been answered already, but I couldn't find something specific for my need.

    Many thanks.

    (MODx version 2.3.2)
