Specify default attributes for content items
</wmmeta>
Attributes are usually specified inside a content item's "&lt;content&gt;"
[content] or "&lt;contents&gt;" [contents] tags, or, for output files, inside
the "&lt;out&gt;" [out] tag.  However, this can be a chore if you have many
items to set attributes on, so, to make things easier, you can specify default
attributes using the &lt;attrdefault&gt; tag.
Specify this tag before the content items or output files in question, and
those items will all be tagged with the attributes you set.
Like the metadefault [metadefault] tag, this tag can be used either in a
__scoped__ mode, or in a __command__ mode.
        [metadefault]: $(metadefault)
Scoped Mode
~~~~~~~~~~~
''Scoped'' mode uses opening (**&lt;attrdefault&gt;**) and closing
(**&lt;/attrdefault&gt;**) tags; the attributes are only set on content items
or output files between the two tags.
  __Note!__ one warning about ''scoped'' mode: note that WebMake does not use
  a fully-correct XML parser to parse the XML in the .wmk file, so if you nest
  &lt;attrdefault&gt; tags, it will not correctly parse them; instead, the
  first closing **&lt;/attrdefault&gt;** tag found will be used.
Command Mode
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Command mode uses standalone tags (**&lt;attrdefault ... /&gt;**); the
attributes are set until the end of the WebMake file, or until you change
them with another &lt;attrdefault&gt; tag.
Attributes
==========
        __name__:       the attribute's name, e.g. __up__, __map__,
        etc.  This is required.
        __value__:      the attribute's value.  This is optional.  If the
        value is not specified, the attribute will be removed from the list of
        default attributes.
        [content]: $(content)
        [contents]: $(contents)
        [out]: $(out)
Example
=======
Using the scoped style:
<safe>
  <attrdefault name="format" value="text/html">
    <content name="chunk_1.txt">...</content>
    <content name="chunk_2.txt">...</content>
    <content name="chunk_3.txt">...</content>
    <content name="chunk_4.txt">...</content>
  </attrdefault>
</safe>
Or, in the ''command'' style:
<safe>
  <attrdefault name="format" value="text/html" />
  <content name="chunk_1.txt">...</content>
  <content name="chunk_2.txt">...</content>
  <content name="chunk_3.txt">...</content>
  <content name="chunk_4.txt">...</content>
  <attrdefault name="format" />
</safe>
