The category2 tag can be used as either a single or containing tag. It will display information of the category as defined by Cat2 of the article being displayed. When used as a containing tag, it will turn the contents into a link to that category. Otherwise, it will return plain text.

This tag may be used within either an article Form, or, in a page, wrapped in an if_individual_article conditional tag.

The category2 tag has the following syntactic structure…

<txp:category2 />

Tag will accept the following attributes (case-sensitive):

Whether to output category title, rather than name. Available values: 1 (yes) or 0 (no, output name). Default is 0 (no).

Only link to articles from the specified section. Default is unset.

Whether to only link to articles from the section containing the current article. Available values: 1 (yes) or 0 (no). Default is 0 (no, allow from any section).

(X)HTML class attribute to be applied to wraptag. Default is unset.
