Of course. Let's break down the dede:field global tag in DedeCMS (织梦内容管理系统). This is one of the most fundamental and frequently used tags for theme development.

What is dede:field global?
The dede:field global tag is a DedeCMS template tag used to output the value of a specific field from the current document (article, page, etc.) being viewed.
The key here is "global". While dede:field is used on single pages, its counterpart, dede:global, is used to output values from the global configuration of the DedeCMS system (like site name, copyright, etc.). To avoid confusion, remember:
dede:field-> Field of the current article (e.g., article title, content, author).dede:global-> Global system setting (e.g.,{dede:global.cfg_webname/}).
Basic Syntax
The basic syntax of the dede:field tag is very simple:
{dede:field.字段名/}
You replace 字段名 (field name) with the actual name of the field you want to display from the dede_arctype or dede_archives database table.

Commonly Used dede:field Examples
Here are the most common fields you'll use when building a single article template (usually article_article.htm).
Article Title (title)
This is the most common use case. It displays the title of the article.
<h1>{dede:field.title/}</h1>
Article Content (body)
This displays the full content of the article, including any images or formatting.
<div class="article-content">
{dede:field.body/}
</div>
Short Description (description)
This pulls the description you entered in the article's "description" field, often used for meta descriptions or article summaries.

<meta name="description" content="{dede:field.description function='html2text(@me)'/}" />
Note: Using function='html2text(@me)' is a good practice to strip any HTML tags from the description, making it clean for meta tags.
Keywords (keywords)
Displays the keywords associated with the article.
<meta name="keywords" content="{dede:field.keywords/}" />
Publishing Time (pubdate)
Displays the date and time the article was published. You can format this using PHP's date() function.
<!-- Basic output: 2025-10-27 10:00:00 -->
<p>发布时间:{dede:field.pubdate/}</p>
<!-- Formatted output: 2025年10月27日 -->
<p>发布时间:{dede:field.pubdate function='strftime("%Y年%m月%d日",@me)'/}</p>
<!-- Another common format: 2025-10-27 -->
<p>发布时间:{dede:field.pubdate function='strftime("%Y-%m-%d",@me)'/}</p>
Author (writer)
Displays the author's name.
<p>作者:{dede:field.writer/}</p>
Source (source)
Displays the source of the article.
<p>来源:{dede:field.source/}</p>
Article ID (id)
This is the unique ID number of the article in the dede_archives table. It's very useful for custom development.
<!-- The ID of this article is: {dede:field.id/} -->
Advanced Usage: Using Functions
The dede:field tag becomes much more powerful when you use its built-in function modifier. The syntax is:
{dede:field.字段名 function='自定义函数(@me)'/}
function='...': This attribute tells DedeCMS to run a PHP function on the field's value.自定义函数: The name of the PHP function you want to use (e.g.,substr,nl2br).@me: This is a special variable that represents the original value of the field before the function is applied.
Example 1: Trimming a Title
If you want to limit the title to a certain number of characters for a list view, but you're on a single page template, you might still use it for consistency.
<!-- Limit the title to 30 characters -->
<h1>{dede:field.title function='substr(@me, 0, 30)'/}</h1>
Example 2: Converting Line Breaks
The WYSIWYG editor often stores line breaks as <br /> tags. If you want to preserve user-entered line breaks as actual line breaks in the HTML source, you can use nl2br.
<!-- This will convert \n to <br> tags in the content -->
<div class="article-content">
{dede:field.body function='htmlspecialchars(nl2br(@me))'/}
</div>
Note: htmlspecialchars is used here for security, preventing XSS attacks.
Example 3: Removing Images from Content
If you want to display the article text but exclude all images, you can use a regular expression.
<!-- This will remove all <img> tags from the content -->
<div class="article-text-only">
{dede:field.body function='preg_replace("/<img[^>]+>/i", "", @me)'/}
</div>
Complete Example: A Single Article Template (article_article.htm)
Here’s how these tags come together in a typical article template file.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">{dede:field.title/} - {dede:global.cfg_webname/}</title>
<meta name="description" content="{dede:field.description function='html2text(@me)'/}" />
<meta name="keywords" content="{dede:field.keywords/}" />
</head>
<body>
<header>
<h1><a href="{dede:global.cfg_cmsurl/}">{dede:global.cfg_webname/}</a></h1>
</header>
<div class="article-container">
<!-- Article Title -->
<h1 class="article-title">{dede:field.title/}</h1>
<!-- Article Meta Info -->
<div class="article-meta">
<span>发布时间:{dede:field.pubdate function='strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M",@me)'/}</span>
<span>作者:{dede:field.writer/}</span>
<span>来源:{dede:field.source/}</span>
<span>浏览:{dede:field.click/}</span>
</div>
<!-- Article Content -->
<div class="article-content">
{dede:field.body/}
</div>
<!-- Related Articles (uses another tag, but common in this template) -->
<div class="related-articles">
<h3>相关文章</h3>
{dede:likearticle titlelen='42' row='8'}
<li><a href="[field:arcurl/]">[field:title/]</a></li>

</div>
</div>
<footer>
