Nositelem

Nositelem is not a standardized term in major programming or web-development specifications. In practice, it functions as a project-specific label, attribute, or key used to indicate that a particular element should not be treated as part of the normal site layout by a templating engine, content manager, or static site generator. Because there is no universal definition, its meaning depends entirely on the software that uses it.

Usage varies by context. In an HTML-like template, nositelem may appear as an attribute such as nositelem='true' on an element, signaling the renderer to skip wrapping it in page chrome or to exclude it from automatically generated sections like headers or sidebars. In configuration data or front matter, it can be a flag under an element's metadata to prevent automatic inclusion in menus, navigation, or templates. Some systems implement nositelem as a plugin-specific directive with bespoke semantics.

Because the term is not standardized, the exact behavior is defined by the toolchain in use. If you encounter nositelem, consult the accompanying documentation or source code for the project to determine what the flag does and which parts of the site rendering pipeline it affects.
