Welcome to MTTags.com. Hopefully, you'll discover that this a really easy place to find information about Movable Type Template Tags. If you think we could be doing something better, please let us know! If this is your first time here, be sure to stop by the information desk, because we've got a growing todo list that might already include what you were about to suggest.

<MTTagName>

A variable tag that outputs the name of the entry tag currently in context. The tag context is created by either an MTEntryTags or an MTTags block.

Optional attributes

  • quote - Adds double quotes around the any tag name which contains spaces
  • normalize - Returns the normalized version of the tag name stored in the system. The tag "Movable Type" would yield a normalized version of "movabletype".

Like all variable tags, you can apply any of the supported global filters to MTTagName to do further transformations.
