_default

Type: modifier

The global _default tag filter outputs when the tag produces an zero-length, empty string.

Some tags have a default attribute, but the _default modifier works globally for all tags.

Example

Add default keywords:

<$mt:EntryKeywords _default="default keywords go here"$>

If an author leaves a entry title empty, you can force it to have a title:

<$mt:EntryTitle _default="Untitled"$>
