<jot> tags still exists inside JotCache processing but they are used in different manner as it was for JotCache before ver.5.0.8.
Reasons for changes :
- most template engines used today do not use Joomla <jdoc> tags in template index.php. Admins using these templates does not know where to implement <jot> tags.
- <jot> tags needs to use exactly the same attributes as they are used in time of related module parsing. Most admins does not know such details and it is very complicated to derive them from template (engine) code
- template engines and some 3rd parties extensions process parsed page HTML content with removing/changing of HTML code. Old <jot> tags in form of HTML comment or single non-standard HTML tag were removed with such additional processing (JotCache module exclusion was not more possible).
Starting with JotCache 4.1 is used for automatic creation of <jot> tags the system plugin JotMarker allowing to implement module exclusion also for modern template engines.
If you prefer manual insertion of <jot> tags then disable JotMarker and use in template code :
<jot position-7 s style="well"></jot>
MODULE HTML CODE e.g. <jdoc....>
<jot position-7 e></jot>
The old start tag '<jot position-7 s style="well">' is replaced with paired tags '<jot position-7 s style="well"></jot>' starting with JotCache 5.0.8.
