<wmmeta name="Title" value="The <attrdefault> Tag" /> <wmmeta name="Section" value="05-meta" /> <wmmeta name="Score" value="45" /> <wmmeta name="Abstract"> Specify default attributes for content items </wmmeta> Attributes are usually specified inside a content item's "<content>" [content] or "<contents>" [contents] tags, or, for output files, inside the "<out>" [out] tag. However, this can be a chore if you have many items to set attributes on, so, to make things easier, you can specify default attributes using the <attrdefault> tag. Specify this tag before the content items or output files in question, and those items will all be tagged with the attributes you set. Like the metadefault [metadefault] tag, this tag can be used either in a __scoped__ mode, or in a __command__ mode. [metadefault]: $(metadefault) Scoped Mode ~~~~~~~~~~~ ''Scoped'' mode uses opening (**<attrdefault>**) and closing (**</attrdefault>**) tags; the attributes are only set on content items or output files between the two tags. Command Mode ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Command mode uses standalone tags (**<attrdefault ... />**); the attributes are set until the end of the WebMake file, or until you change them with another <attrdefault> tag. Attributes ========== __name__: the attribute's name, e.g. __up__, __map__, etc. This is required. __value__: the attribute's value. This is optional. If the value is not specified, the attribute will be removed from the list of default attributes. [content]: $(content) [contents]: $(contents) [out]: $(out) Example ======= Using the scoped style: <safe> <attrdefault name="format" value="text/html"> <content name="chunk_1.txt">...</content> <content name="chunk_2.txt">...</content> <content name="chunk_3.txt">...</content> <content name="chunk_4.txt">...</content> </attrdefault> </safe> Or, in the ''command'' style: <safe> <attrdefault name="format" value="text/html" /> <content name="chunk_1.txt">...</content> <content name="chunk_2.txt">...</content> <content name="chunk_3.txt">...</content> <content name="chunk_4.txt">...</content> <attrdefault name="format" /> </safe>
