Entity Types

The Entity Type components allow you to create an unlimited number of entities that has features specified by the entity type. After installing the component there will be a new item on the list of entity types in the dialog used to create new entities. The entities created with this dialog can be embedded in your pages using a simple entity reference (e.g. &name;). Each entity type has its own kind of dialog to make it easy to configure and change the entities, so you don't have to clutter up the markup with mock tags or cryptic "SSI" comments.
