Forgive the newbie question - I've read through the docs & searched the forums, but I haven't found an answer yet. Possibly because it should be obvious to me?

I am wondering if it's possible to use MT template tags within the actual body of an entry?

Example:
If I have to link to an image, can I use MTBlogURL?


This would make it easier to port posts between a test server and the real site.

Any help is appreciated.

No, you can't.

The Process Tags plugin was made for that, but you'll have to just try it out. It's pretty old and I can't recall at the moment whether it still works with the latest versions. I think so.

For the specific example you give, I suggest using "base href=" in the head of the HTML document and then just changing the link when you move to your new server. I have all that stuff in a separate template and use MTInclude to add it to each individual template.

Excellent - I was contemplating the Base tag yesterday evening. Thanks for confirming!
