b:value.name

<b:value> holds inside a value, similar to a string variable in many programming languages.

You can set a value by using the set attribute (see example 1). To set multiline data or information from other block b:tags, you can use <b:value> as a block tag (see example 2)

If no set attribute is given, <b:value> will output the value it currently holds inside.

Attributes

set (optional)	Sets a new value for the variable. Values are handled as strings
default (optional)	Sets a default value for the variable. If this value isn't set or set false value, this value will return the default.

Examples

Basic example

This is a basic sample of how <b:value> is set and used.

<b:value.familyname set="Smith"/>

<h1>Hello World. My name is John <b:value.familyname /></h1>

HTML source output

<h1>Hello World. My name is John Smith</h1>

Setting multiline data and block-tags

Here's an example how multiline data can be inserted into b:value, or information from other tags.

<b:value.contactinfo>
   Aisti<br/>
   Aleksanterinkatu 15 A<br/>
   15110 Lahti<br/>
   Finland
</b:value.contactinfo>

<b:value.last>
   Last updated:
   <b:structure name="lastupd" orderby="metadata.modified" direction="desc" amount="1" >
      <b:lastupd.metadata.modified/>
   </b:structure>
</b:value.last>

<div id="footer">
    <div id="contactinfo"><b:value.contactinfo/></div>
    <div id="lastupdated"><b:value.last/></div>
</div>
