All template tags support two attributes: before=”value” and after=”value”. The values of the attributes will be placed before and after the output value. These attribute values must be wrapped in double quotes.
Date/Time template tags support the “format” attribute: format=”M, Y”, where the value is a PHP formatted date string. Only dtstart and dtend include the full date/time information for formatting.
Example: {title before="<h3>" after="</h3>"}
Using template tags in PHP templating
If you’ve switched to My Calendar’s PHP templating system, these template tags can be retrieved using mc_template_tag( $event, $key ), where $key is the portion of the template tag between the curly braces. E.g., mc_template_tag( $event, 'title' ). Template tag attributes are not supported in the PHP templating system; all logic in PHP templates should be written in PHP. Tip: mc_template_tag() echoes the value, mc_get_template_tag() returns it.
