+
+ Run Maypole sub-requests as a component of the request
+
+ [% request.component("/beer/view_as_component/20") %]
+
+ Allows you to integrate the results of a Maypole request into an existing
+request. You'll need to set up actions and templates
+which return fragments of HTML rather than entire pages, but once you've
+done that, you can use the C<component> method of the Maypole request object
+to call those actions. You may pass a query string in the usual URL style.
+
+You should not fully qualify the Maypole URLs.
+
+Note: any HTTP POST or URL parameters passed to the parent are not passed to the
+component sub-request, only what is included in the url passed as an argyument
+to the method
