When to  use data-sly-include   vs  data-sly-call/data-sly-template

[edubey]

Here is basic stuff reg their usage:

data-sly-template: Template is the way by which you render one content with different behavior by passing different params. So create a template which renders html and value can be passed dynamically. Logically it can be co-related to the way you use any function by passing different params.

data-sly-include: It will include or replace with the content of file you are including here. It can be html, jsp, js, etc. Same content will be rendered apart from the logic you have put inside that html, jsp

Sometimes I explain data-sly-template as a HTML-function ( you can call it multiple times, pass in parameters etc).

data-sly-include is to include other html/jsp resources.
