A variable tag that provides a count of entries on the current blog that have the entry tag in context assigned to them. The tag context is created by either an MTEntryTags or an MTTags block.

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

Example code

Within an MTEntries block right before the entry byline, you might put:

<p>
    This entry has been tagged (w/ entry counts noted):
    <MTEntryTags glue=", "><$MTTagName$> (<$MTTagCount$>)</MTEntryTags>
</p>

See Chapter 8 in the Users and Administrators Guide entitled "Customizing Your Published Weblogs" for more examples related to entry tags, including the creation of "tag clouds".
