    Preview of an unpublished document (in backend) shows only the content but not content of TVs generated by snippets. Why?
    Is it possible to change the preview to see the document like defined in assigned template?

    Example of template code:
    ...
<body>
[[snippet_showing_TV's_content_of same_document]]
[*content*]
</body>
</html>

      If the document is published, do you see those things in the front end?

        Yes, of course.

        In backend and if doc is unpublished TVs are shown if I call them directly via
        [*nameOfTV*]


        This is a short snippet to put a text area if text is available:
        <?php
$id= (isset($id))? $id : $modx->documentIdentifier;
$tvrt = $modx->getTemplateVar('reiseText',"*",$id);
$tvrth = $modx->getTemplateVar('reiseTextHead',"*",$id);

if ($tvrt['value'] != '') {
$output ='<div class="infoblock">';
if ($tvrth['value'] != '') { $output .= '<h2>'.$tvrth['value'].'</h2>'; } else { $output .= '<h2>[*pagetitle*]</h2>'; }
$output .= $tvrt['value'].'</div>';
return $output;
}
?>

        This isn’t visible in preview if document is unpublished.
