==============================================
once.instance ViewHelper `<vhs:once.instance>`
==============================================


Once: Instance

Displays nested content or "then" child once per instance
of the content element or plugin being rendered, as identified
by the contentObject UID (or globally if no contentObject
is associated).

"Once"-style ViewHelpers are purposed to only display their
nested content once per XYZ, where the XYZ depends on the
specific type of ViewHelper (session, cookie etc).

In addition the ViewHelper is a ConditionViewHelper, which
means you can utilize the f:then and f:else child nodes as
well as the "then" and "else" arguments.
