    <%while resultset.next%><%= __counter__%>. <%= _.foo %><%/while %>
    <%each hashref%><%= __key__ %>=<%= __value__ %><%/each %> (sorted alphanumeric)
    <%each hashref sort=alpha %><%= __key__ %>=<%= __value__ %><%/each %> (sorted alphanumeric)
    <%each hashref sort=num %><%= __key__ %>=<%= __value__ %><%/each %> (sorted numeric)
    <%each hashref sort=0 %><%= __key__ %>=<%= __value__ %><%/each %> (not sorted)

WITH

    <%with cds[0].artist.fanclub%><%= _.address%><%= _.homepage%><%/with %>

INCLUDE, INCLUDE_VAR

    <%include template.htc%>
    <%include_var param_with_template_name%>

ATTRIBUTES

Each attribute can be written as

    attribute=foo
    attribute="some thing"
    attribute='some "thing"'

NAME

You can omit the 'name=' here.

    <%if var%>var<%elsif name=var2%>var4<%/if%>

Can be used in all tags.

ESCAPE

    <%= message escape=html %>
    <%= params escape=url %>
    <%= params escape=js %>
    <%= some_var escape=dump|html%>

Can be used in "VAR"-tags.

DEFAULT

    <%= this.var.might_be_undef default="my fault" %>

Can be used in "VAR"-tags.

ALIAS

    <%loop cds alias="cd" %><%= $cd.title %><%/loop cds %>

Can be used in "LOOP" and "WHILE". Works like "SET_VAR" and is short for

    <%loop cds %><%set_var cd value=_ %><%= cd.title %><%/loop cds %>

Useful for nested loops.

SET_VAR

    <%set_var myvar value=.another.var %>
    <%set_var myvar2 expr="60 * 60 * 24" %>

This creates a variable similar to a package var with local() in perl.

USE_VARS

    <!-- recognize myvar and myvar2 as variables not parameter stash -->
    <%use_vars myvar,myvar2 %>
    myvar: <%= myvar %>

JOIN

    <%loop cds join=", " %><%= _.title%><%/loop cds%>

can be used in "LOOP"

BREAK

    <%loop cds break="3" %>
    <%= _.title%><%if __break__ %>\n</%if %>
    <%/loop cds%>

Sets "__break__" to 1 every xth loop. Can be used in "LOOP", "WHILE" and "EACH"
