Using Expressions

Any value contained in the value attribute will automatically be treated as an expression. This means text will be treated as variables and any function available with the Miva Empresa engine (link) will be evaluated.

Finds the substring of l.myvariable starting at the second character until the end of the string and outputs that value to the page.

Using Concatenation

The $ is the concatenation operator in the Miva Template Language can everything is evaluated, it can be used in the value attribute within the mvassign tag.

Output: The length of this string is: 11
