Custom tags
In addition to the default tags described above, the "XML block" datatype makes it possible to use custom tags. A custom tag can be used both as a block or an inline element. Custom tags must be specified using the "AvailableCustomTags[]" array in the [CustomTagSettings] block within an override for the "content.ini" configuration file. When the XML is rendered, the contents of a custom tag will be replaced by a custom template. The name of the template must be specified using the "name" parameter. Example of usage:
<custom name="template_name" [custom_parameter="value" [...] ]> The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. </custom>
The custom tag in the example above will be replaced by a template called "template_name.tpl". This template must be located in the following directory within the current design: "/templates/content/datatype/view/ezxmltags/" (or one of the fallback designs). It is also possible to create an override template. The contents of the tag will be available in the "$content" variable within the inserted template. The custom parameters are optional. When used, a custom parameter will be available as a template variable with the same name as it was specified in the tag itself.

Custom Tags / Online Editor

But when I use the custom tags inside the Online Editor there only appear a button with a question mark. I would like to display the custom tag like it is done for the factbox tag.
Here the code from my content.ini file:
[CustomTagSettings]
AvailableCustomTags[]=mytag
IsInline[mytag]=true
And here the code from mytag.tpl
<div align="center">
<table bgcolor="#eeeeee">
<tr>
<td>
{$content}
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
Any ideas?
custom tags have to also exist in admin siteaccess
