Hi guys. So recently I have been playing around with yacy the p2p search engine. I came across this strange syntax in their html pages looks like some type of include, am not sure exactly what it does (or what language it is). here’s the code.
<!-- type the number of results and navigation bar -->
#(num-results)#
::
<p>No Results.</p>
::
<p>No Results. (length of search words must be at least 1 character)</p>
::
<div id="results"></div>
<div class="progress">
<div class="progress-bar progress-bar-info" id="progressbar" role="progressbar" style="width:0%;">
<span style="position:absolute;display:block;text-align:left;width:100%;color:black;"> <strong id="offset">#[offset]#</strong>-<strong id="itemscount">#[itemscount]#</strong> of <strong id="totalcount">#[totalcount]#</strong> #(globalresults)#::; (<strong id="localResourceSize">#[localResourceSize]#</strong> local, <strong id="remoteResourceSize">#[remoteResourceSize]#</strong> remote), <strong id="remoteIndexCount">#[remoteIndexCount]#</strong> from <strong id="remotePeerCount">#[remotePeerCount]#</strong> remote YaCy peers.#(/globalresults)#</span>
</div>
</div>
::
<p>Searching the web with this peer is disabled for unauthorized users. Please <a href="Status.html?login=">log in</a> as administrator to use the search function</p>
#(/num-results)#
#(urlmaskerror)#::
<p><b>Illegal URL mask:</b> <i>#[urlmask]#</i> (not a valid regular expression), mask ignored.</p>
#(/urlmaskerror)#
#(prefermaskerror)#::
<p><b>Illegal prefer mask:</b> <i>#[prefermask]#</i> (not a valid regular expression), mask ignored.</b></p>
#(/prefermaskerror)#
#(didYouMean)#::
<p><b>Did you mean:</b> #{suggestions}# <a href="#[url]#">#[word]#</a> #[sep]##{/suggestions}#</p>
#(/didYouMean)#
#(searchagain)#`
What does the #(somename)# syntax do? please help.
EDIT
This post has been reformatted by enclosing the code block in 3 backticks

on their own lines.
