Synopsis

publishAnchorNodes(int $asParent, int $namingConvention, string $customName, string $nodes[], int $publish)

This script can be used to publish nodes as parent or child anchors on their container. The naming convention flag allows you to choose the following names for the published attribute: 0 = used the node name, 1 = prepend the node name to the supplied custom name, 2 = used the custom name. In all cases, an index will be added to the resulting name if it is required to make the name unique. The script can also be used to unpublish nodes.
