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.

Example code

The following prints out a list of tags used on a blog.

<p>
    The following tags are used on this blog: 
       <MTTags glue=", "><$MTTagName$></MTTags>
</p>

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".

Also, please see the important performance note regarding where MTTags lists are best placed for optimum performance, also in Chapter 5.4 of the User and Administration Manual, under "Eliminating redundant publishing".
