Fred Elements are made of HTML with specific attributes. The markup can be enhanced using Twig and Element Settings.

Custom Tags

themplate.theme_dir

To make themes more portable {{template.theme_dir}} can be used in an element as a dynamic placeholder reference to the template's theme directory (e.g. '/assets/theme/default/'.)
