Container for breadcrumbs for silo. Internal tokens:
        [SILO_URL] - URL of the page
        [SILO_ANCHOR] - anchor of the page

Outputs contents from cache for key provided in <key>

Caches contents in to the key provided in <key> to be used with [CACHE_GET]. Good for caching snippets with [SPIN] and [CHANCE]. See example for [CACHE_GET].

This token is used to add a chance possibility of outputting the content/html that's within the tags. The number you place in the tag is the % of possibility it gets output.

These tokens can be used throughout your webpage to include smaller blocks of randomly-generated content.

Note: if you repeat your use of a content block number (i.e. you use [CONTENT1] more than once in a template) you will receive duplicate content. Use different content block numbers to ensure your content blocks are unique.
      Also you can use 'U' instead of number to make sure each block is random

Inserts shadowMaker generated content. Obviously essential.

This token allows you to include another batch of randomly-selected internal links in your template.
For example, you might have a "Popular Posts on This Blog" section that you want populated, or a secondary "Categories" area.

This token allows you to include a selection of links to the newest webpages on your website.
shadowMaker will obey the "No. of most recent crosslinks" setting inside of "Crosslinks style" on the "Site Style and Input" tab.
For example, if you set this number to "100" and include the [CROSSLINK] token in your template, on each page load shadowMaker will select a handful of crosslinks from the 100 most recently generated webpages on your website.

Used with "Datafeed format" in "Input" tab.
<field_name> is a column number starting from 0;
<number> is an index number of specific keyword or U for random unique keyword;

This token will insert a date inside of your template. The date used will be the date that shadowMaker generated the webpage.

If you want to use a date in the past you must use [DATE1] (or [DATE2], etc.) and set a range inside of "Time range for [DATE] (days)" in the "Advanced Settings" area of the "Content Settings" tab.
For example, if you set "50-100" as the range in that input box, shadowMaker will randomly select a date anywhere from 50-100 days before the date of page generation and place that on the page.

This token will first draw from the file selected in the dropdown box below "Use descriptions from extern file" on the "Meta Settings" tab only if the box is checked.
If the box is NOT checked, it will this token will use the page title as set in the "Titles" section of the "Site Style and Input" tab.

NOTE: If you are NOT using an external descriptions file, it is recommended to use [TITLE2] instead of [DESCRIPTION] as this will generate a new unique title.

Domain name

This token will draw a randomly selected external link from the text file specified in "Extern links file (name)" in "External Links" in the "Content Links and Images" tab and will obey all of the settings in this section as well.

Note: the format of this file is URL@ANCHOR so it can be:
        http://en.wikipedia.org/Poker
        http://en.wikipedia.org/Poker@Read about Poker on Wikipedia
        wikipedia.org
        wikipedia.org@Wikipedia

Replaced by 'http' or 'https' depending on protocol used to build a site.

This token will be replaced with a plain image sometimes and sometimes it will change to an image with a link 

The output will be an unique image generated from random image selected from your input images directory which will be wrapped in <a href> tags and linked to a random internal or external link based on the settings you choose in "Add Images".

This outputs full contents of a file you input in the token - file must be places in the input/includes subfolder.

Keyword of the index page

This token can be used to add an internal link to another webpage on this domain.
Note that if "Interlink all sites in a batch" in "Internal Links" in the "Content Links and Images" tab is checked, this token will pull a link from any webpage on any domain listed in the list of ShadowDomains in the input box on the top right hand side. You can also add a number, like [INTERN_LINK2] to make it sticky - so you can use it multiple places in a template and it will output the same internal link on that page.

This will output a random URL. You can also sticky this tag by adding a number, like [INTERN_LINK_URL2] and use it in multiple places in your page to output the same URL

Shuffles words in text

Could be used in a variety of ways such as a subheading. You can also use a 'U' instead of a number to make sure each block is random.

This outputs a random line from a file you input in the token - file must be places in the input_keywords subfolder (where you put your keyword files).
The number is used to sticky the token in case you want the same line output in multiple places.
You can use [KWU:filename.txt] if you always want it random.

This token will draw from the "Generate meta tag "author" input box on the "Meta Settings" tab only if the box is checked.
You MUST check this box if you use this tag, otherwise your pages will output with the token instead of real information. 
This token is not essential but is useful to generate variety and uniqueness amongst your templates.

You MUST check this box if you use this tag, otherwise your pages will output with the token instead of real information.
This token is not essential but is useful to generate variety and uniqueness amongst your templates.

Note: if you are using a large primary keyword list it is recommended to use a separate smaller keyword list for additional random inclusion as very large files can significantly slow shadowMaker and/or cause memory issues.

This token will draw from the 'Generate meta tag "content language"' input box on the "Meta Settings" tab only if the box is checked.
You MUST check this box if you use this tag, otherwise your pages will output with the token instead of real information.

The navigation block tokens are essential as they create the main navigation bar used on the webpage. Internal tokens:
        [MAINLINK]...[/MAINLINK] - This token will inject a "home" link back to your root index page
        [SITEMAPLINK]...[/SITEMAPLINK] - This token will inject a link to your sitemap if you choose to generate it by selecting information in the "Sitemaps" section of the "Site Style and Input" tab.
        [PAGELINK]...[/PAGELINK] - This token is for the page links that will appear in your navigation block leading to other pages inside of your website. This token must include [CROSSLINK] as the href location and [KEYWORD] which will use the crosslinked webpage's main keyword as the link's anchor text. Note that the number of crosslinks which appear will be drawn from the "Max. links per page" number set in "Crosslinks style" on the "Site Style and Input" tab.
You can also use [SILO_TOP_CATEGORIES]...[/SILO_TOP_CATEGORIES] in replace of [PAGELINK] tag (if using SILO mode) to show the top category pages instead of random pages. This token requires [SILO_URL] and [SILO_ANCHOR] as the href location and anchor text.

This token will be replaced with the word "noarchive" only if the "Include NO-ARCHIVE meta tag (NOCACHE)" box on the "Meta Settings" page is checked.
This token is essential if you want to avoid having your shadowMaker webpages cached by Google.

This token will insert a randomly-selected RSS feed which is produced based on the settings in the "Generate RSS Feeds" section of the "File Settings and RSS Feeds" tab only if the box is checked.

Same as [RANDOM_LINK], but outputs multiple links and allows to specify pool (used for special pages). If special pages are not used, then use pool name '_main'.

This is for internal linking that allows you to include a URL and the keyword that assigned to that page.  This is used when you can't just use intern_link tag, ie you need the plain URL and keyword in different places, but you still want them tied to each other. This token requires [RANDOM_LINK_URL] for the href location and [RANDOM_KEYWORD] for the keyword assigned to the URL. You can also use this within a REPEAT tag.

This outputs a random string where length can be a range and pattern can contain these:
        c - Any Latin lowercase character [a-z]
        C - Any Latin uppercase character [A-Z]
        n - Any digit [0-9]

        . - Any of the above
        s - A "salt" character [A-Za-z0-9./]
        b - Any binary data

Creates the image of width=W, height=H and outputs its URL

The [RCONTENT] token allows you to include snippets of text that will be changed after a number of hits to the page.
This token will draw from the "Use rotating content snippets" input box on the "Content Settings" tab only if the box is checked.
You MUST check this box if you use this token, otherwise your pages will output with the token instead of real information.
You must also specify the content text file, the snippet length in words (using a whole number or a range) and after how many hits the snippet should be rotated (using a whole number or a range).

This will repeat the html/content that is within the tags. The range will determine how many times it's repeated. You can place [REPEAT_CNT] within the tag it will output a counter. You can also use this within another tag - like [KEYWORD[REPEAT_CNT]] and that will output [KEYWORD1] on the first output, the second would be [KEYWORD2] and so on. The offset is not required. It is used with [REPEAT_CNT] tag, and will serve as a starting point for the counter. If not used, the counter will start at 1. You can also nest the repeat tag, but if nested, you must add a number to the repeat tag. Example below.

Spin contents, separated by '|' - You can also do nested spins but you need to number them.

This is just like the [CHANCE] token but is processed only with the template spinner. If the output is chosen (based on the %) - it will be on all pages, not run for every page.

The [TCONTENT] token is similar in usage to [CONTENT<number>,<range>] except it will include targeted snippets of content which include your keywords instead.
