Re[2]: default value?

[Stan Devyatovsky <st...@devyatovsky.com>]

Hello Nathan,

 Thanks everyone for your kind advices, that's what I needed.

NB> i typically create a global velocimacro to handle this:
NB> #macro( altnull $value $alternate )##
NB> ## robust null checking (treats false booleans as non-null)
NB> #if ( "$!value" != "" )${value}#else${alternate}#end##
NB> #end
NB> then you can just do #altnull( $title "This Is A Web Site!" )
