What's the actual name of <% %> tags?
Question
Possibly a redundant and useless question, but my colleagues and I refer to <% %> as server tags, but is there an actual name for them?
one i've seen used is calling them Alcohol tags.
Edited based on answers
We're referring to them in ASP.NET, but I would've thought they'd use the same name across all languages if they did the same job?
Solution
"Server-Side Scripting Delimiters", as laid out in this question/answer here:
OTHER TIPS
In JSP they are called scriptlets, don't know if you were talking about Java though.
In ASP, they're "Embedded Code Blocks".
I like to try and not use "tags" except when referring to to HTML or XML tags (the ones that have a start and end)
As far as I know, they were called "Server Tags" in classical ASP
I've heard them referred to as bee stings. In Ruby/ERB, they're known as "Embedded Ruby".
That's what I use for them, but I've also heard people use the term inline tags.
