Here are five examples of leveraging template tags for dynamic content in WordPress theming:

1. the_title()
   • Usage: <h1><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
   • Description: This template tag is used to display the title of the current post or page. It dynamically retrieves the title from the database and outputs it within an HTML heading tag.
2. the_excerpt()
   • Usage: <div class="entry-summary"><?php the_excerpt(); ?></div>
   • Description: This template tag displays a brief summary or excerpt of the post content. It is often used on archive pages or when displaying a list of posts. The length of the excerpt can be customized in the WordPress settings.
3. the_post_thumbnail()
   • Usage: <div class="post-thumbnail"><?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?></div>
   • Description: This template tag displays the featured image or posts thumbnail associated with the current post. It allows you to showcase images related to your content, such as article previews or thumbnail images in a blog index.
4. the_author()
   • Usage: <span class="post-author"><?php the_author(); ?></span>
   • Description: This template tag outputs the name of the post author. It is useful for displaying the author’s name alongside the post content, providing attribution, and personalizing the content.
5. the_time()
   • Usage: <span class="post-date"><?php the_time('F j, Y'); ?></span>
   • Description: This template tag displays the date and time of the post. It allows you to customize the date format using PHP date formatting parameters. It is commonly used to display the publication date of a post or to provide a time reference for the content.
