# Portal Tokens

Portal Tokens provide you with the ability to use information about the current portal at run-time such as the portal's ID, it's name, email, etc.

• Standard Token Usage Rules:

  • Tokens must begin with double-brackets ([[) and end with double-brackets (]])
  • Tokens can be used as the value of an HTML attribute or in standard text. For example:

    <img src="[[Employees_list@PictureUrl]]" align="left" />
    <strong>[[Employees_list@UserFullName]]</strong>

    2
    
  • In many cases, tokens can also be used as the attribute value for an XMod Pro tag. However, when using them in this manner, you MUST delimit the attribute value with single quotes, not double quotes. For example:
    CORRECT:

    <xmod:DetailButton Text='[[Employees_list@UserFullName]]' />

    INCORRECT:

    <xmod:DetailButton Text="[[Employees_list@UserFullName]]" />
