Advanced Templates: TypeList Tags
The TypeList tags are for displaying data from your TypeLists.
MTListInclude
The MTListInclude tag displays your TypeLists as pre-formatted html code blocks in an advanced template. The list items are enclosed automatically in <li>list item</li> markup and the display of the list is set in the advanced configuration for the TypeList.
Use the name attribute to specify the TypeList to display:
The TypeList Name is the name you gave the TypeList and is set in the configuration for the TypeList. The name is case sensitive so use it in the tag exactly as it is entered in the TypeList configuration.
You can also use the MTUserLists container to include all of the lists that you have selected to display on your About Page. The name attribute is not used, the MTListInclude tag is surrounded by the MTUserLists container instead:
MTList
These tags give you full control of the TypeList display. The MTList container loops through the list items and displays each using the MTListItem tag.
Use the name to specify the TypeList to display:
<$MTListItem$> <br />
</MTList>
