<h1 class="content-header header-section1" id="ref_depr_builtin" itemprop="headline">List of deprecated built-ins</h1>
</div></div><p>The following built-ins are deprecated, but still
working:</p><ul>
<li>
<p> <code class="inline-code">default</code>: This was deprecated
with the introduction of the <a href="dgui_template_exp.html#dgui_template_exp_missing_default">default value
operator</a>.
<code class="inline-code"><em class="code-color">exp1</em>?default(<em class="code-color">exp2</em>)</code>
is near equivalent with
<code class="inline-code"><em class="code-color">exp1</em>!<em class="code-color">exp2</em></code>,
and
<code class="inline-code">(<em class="code-color">exp1</em>)?default(<em class="code-color">exp2</em>)</code>
is near equivalent with with
<code class="inline-code">(<em class="code-color">exp1</em>)!<em class="code-color">exp2</em></code>.
The only difference is that prior to FreeMarker 2.4, the
<code class="inline-code">default</code> built-in has always evaluated
<code class="inline-code"><em class="code-color">exp2</em></code>, while the
default value operator only evaluates it when the default value is
really needed. Starting from FreeMarker 2.4, however, the
<code class="inline-code">default</code> built-in was improved, and behaves
exactly like the default value operator.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><code class="inline-code">exists</code>: This was deprecated with
the introduction of the <a href="dgui_template_exp.html#dgui_template_exp_missing_test">missing value test
operator</a>.
<code class="inline-code"><em class="code-color">exp1</em>?exists</code> is
equivalent with
<code class="inline-code"><em class="code-color">exp1</em>??</code>, also
<code class="inline-code">(<em class="code-color">exp1</em>)?exists</code> is
equivalent with with
<code class="inline-code">(<em class="code-color">exp1</em>)??</code>.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><code class="inline-code">if_exists</code>: This was deprecated
with the introduction of the <a href="dgui_template_exp.html#dgui_template_exp_missing_default">default value
operator</a>.
<code class="inline-code"><em class="code-color">exp1</em>?if_exists</code> is
similar to <code class="inline-code"><em class="code-color">exp1</em>!</code>,
and <code class="inline-code">(<em class="code-color">exp1</em>)?if_exists</code>
is similar to
<code class="inline-code">(<em class="code-color">exp1</em>)!</code>. The
difference is that the default value with
<code class="inline-code">if_exists</code> is not only empty string, empty
sequence and empty hashs at the same time, but also boolean
<code class="inline-code">false</code> and a transform that does nothing and
ignores all parameters.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><code class="inline-code">web_safe</code>: the same as <a href="ref_builtins_string.html#ref_builtin_html"><code>html</code></a></p>
</li>
