Every now and then someone asks whether they can output a certain value in a Perch email template (typically sent as a transactional email by a Perch app like Perch Forms or Perch Shop).
A Perch email template is a like any Perch template. The easiest way to check the variables available to you in an email template is by adding perch:showall to it and sending a test email.
<perch:showall>The else attribute provides a quick and easy way to output a default if a field is empty, but can’t it output falsy values?
A handy Perch template feature is the append attribute. The template engine appends the value of the append attribute to the end of a field.
Perch’s conditional tags is a powerful feature of its templating engine. Yet, you can in some cases replicate the outcome of perch:if tags with tag attributes and write less code in the process.
