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!

<MTTags>

A container tags used for listing all previously assigned entry tags for the blog in context.

Optional attributes

  • glue - A text string that is used to join each of the items together. For example <MTTags glue=", "><$MTTagName$></MTTags> would print out each tag name separated by a comma and a space.

Example code

The following code is functional on any template. It prints a simple list of tags for a blog, each linked to a tag search.

<ul>
    <MTTags>
    <li>

        <a href="<$MTTagSearchLink$>"><$MTTagName$></a>
    </li>
    </MTTags>
</ul>

Using tags like MTTagRank and MTTagCount, you can make this simple code into a powerful looking and useful "tag cloud".

See the relevant section of Chapter 5.4 in the User and Administration Manual entitled "Using Template Modules" for more examples related to entry tags, including the creation of "tag clouds".
