Problem

You want to publish some content when a conditional is false.

Solution

Use the MTElse tag inside of the container tag.

Discussion

As discussed in the introduction to this chapter, conditionals are a special form of container tags that will display their contents only if a certain condition is true. Movable Type includes MTElse, a very useful tag that can be used with conditional tags. Inside of any conditional, this tag will display its contents if the conditional is false. This template markup demonstrates its use.

 <MTEntryIfExtended>
   <p>TRUE</p>
   <MTElse>
     <p>FALSE</p>
   </MTElse>
 </MTEntryIfExtended>

Used in the context of an entry, "TRUE" would be published if the Extended Body field contained any content. "FALSE" would be published if it did not.
