Hi Bob,
Think of the element <t:layout> as a reference to your component, like
calling a method. The same goes for using <t:textfield> or any of the other
components, they just point to a component to run at that point of the page.
You can think of the contents of that element as an intrinsic parameter to
the component. The <t:body> element processes those contents, invoking any
components that might be contained. This allows you to choose where in your
layout html those contents are rendered.
A simpler, but related component might be one that rendered it's contents in
a box with a black border. You could create the box component like this:
Box.java (empty but currently required )
Box.tml
<div style="border:thin black solid"
xmlns:t="http://tapestry.apache.org/schema/tapestry_5_0_0.xsd";>
<t:body/>
</div>
Now within your other pages/components you could use it like this:
<t:box>This is in a box</t:box>
I hope this helps...
