[TYPO3-english] confused with some example codes

[Stefan Reichelt]

Hello Tom,

1. It is a name/key/ID for the library/file you put into includeLibs. 
Kinda like with an array.
2. inserData tells typoscript to replace the 'markers' (this probably 
the wrong name but
anyway), like in your example the {field:uid}, with the data they... 
represent.
3. As far as I remember $content contains the content already created in 
the content object
that is calling the function (in your example page.20) and $conf 
contains its typoscript setup.

Kind regards,
Stefan
