Every param tag must
include the following attributes:
Attribute Description
description Description of the parameter
label Human-readable name of the input; this will always be translated by JText
name Name of the input
type Type of parameter; this relates to JElement subclasses
default The default value (this does not work for all elements)
This is an example of a param tag:
description="Title of page" size="30" />
When we define the type we are informing Joomla! which JElement subclass to use to
render the parameter. There are a number of core JElement subclasses available to us,
each of which has its own set of attributes that modify the rendered output.
The following tables describe the parameter types from the core that we can use.
Any attributes that are optional are encapsulated in square braces. Remember that
when we use the param tag we also need to include the attributes defined in the
previous table.
