Using Pagelets!

Sample description

A CXP page can also call up functionality supplied in other pages via the :RenderPage() method. Pages which define only a content (body) section and are used in this manner are called pagelets. In this example, a pagelet is used to create a page with a list of the quotes of the day in a single loop.
