EntryDrop

EntryDrop is a Liquid drop representing an entry. Each entry available in the templates will be encapsulated in an EntryDrop.

Methods

EntryDrop supports the following methods:

id

Returns the ID of the entry as a string.

slug

Returns the slug of the entry.

title

Returns the title of the entry, html escaped.

date

Returns the date the entry was published, wrapped in an hAtom compatible microformat (according to the Microformat datetime-design-pattern).

For example: <abbr title="2007-12-31T13:02:03Z">December 31, 2007 at 13:02</abbr>

If you want to remove the dotted underline or small caps displayed in some browsers by default (Firefox, Opera, Konqueror…), use the CSS style rules border-bottom: none; font-variant: normal; letter-spacing: normal; on this <abbr>.
