Using nowrap

GeoDirectory’s GD Post Meta has an option to output the value stored in the database, and then optionally to output the value without any HTML or CSS mark-up. This is commonly known as ‘no-wrap’ or ‘nowrap’ because the output is not ‘wrapped’ in any other elements.

Here is an example for the output of the post title without headings or links.


[gd_post_meta key="post_title" show="value-raw" no_wrap='1′]

With the raw value from the database you can then build other items like a novel address template, links, it is really up to you.
