Name for ASP/ASP.NET Short Tags

Is there a parti开发者_开发技巧cular name for <% and %>.

Scott Gu calls these Code Nuggets. So thats what I go with.

<% %> is usually referred to as a "server-side code block" or "code rendering blocks".

Which is different from <%# %>, which is a "databinding code block"

and <%$ %> is an 'expression code block'. (introduced in .NET 2.0)

They were nick named a long time ago as Yellow Tags, because of how Visual Studio highlighted them in yellow.

I think they are just called delimiters.
