{inputvar:...}

Renders the input control (the actual edit field - text box, checkbox, select, date selector, file upload, ...) for one slice field, exactly as Slice Admin defines it. It is meaningful only inside a custom item-editing form: when a slice uses a custom field layout (its Input form template, the slice_field setting), AA builds each field control and stores its HTML in the page cache under the key inputvar plus the field id, and this command reads it back. Use it to place individual fields - a headline box, a price input, a checkbox, an image picker - anywhere in your own form layout, for example to put two inputs on one line. The first argument is the field id (the eight-plus-dots id, e.g. headline........). An optional second argument selects a named sub-part of a compound widget instead of the whole control: html_rb and plain_rb (the HTML/plain radio buttons of a text field), day, month, year, time (the pieces of a date field), unselected, selected and presets (parts of a select), file, change, retype, and a few more. Outside an item-editing form the cache key is not set, so the command returns an empty string. Content carried inside a control is protected so any _# aliases it contains are not expanded a second time. The result is never cached.
