 * Ok, Lets hope this makes sense and is possible…
 * I have a massive wordpress website, I have just created a new template page for
   a section of the website which will show some spesific content.
 * Is it possible to use plugin ‘functions / tags’ in template files, for example
   I have the events plugin installed and if I use the <!–events_list–> function(
   which should show a list of events) nothing shows up. The same thing happens 
   with the wordtube plugin, if I put the ‘[MYPLAYLIST=2]’ function then nothing
   shows.
 * Would it be possible to get these working? If so how?
 * Thanks!

 * Those tags are designed to go inside your posts. But there is probably an equivalent
   PHP call. Best idea is to have a look on your plugins homepage or in the readme
   file, if there is one.
