I have a snippet: {snippet:html-start}
I would like to pass a page_title variable to this snippet that gets added to the html <title> tag.
Is something like this possible? {snippet:html-start page_title="Home"}

Snippet Sync doesn’t provide any additional functionality on top of what EE provides, but you can do this with preload_replace. Snippets can’t accept parameters like embeds can.

{preload_replace:pre-title="foo"}
{snippet:html-start}

Then in the html-start snippet file:

{!-- Set a default --}
{preload_replace:pre-title=""}

... your snippet code ...

{pre-title}

This only works due to how EE’s parsing works: http://www.slideshare.net/lodewijkschutte/parse-order-pro

Thanks, that works well!
