### Description {#desc}

The template body.

This is an HTML code with the following inserts:

```
$[data_field_name|value_by_default]
```

When creating an HTML layout for a specific map object, such inserts are replaced with data from the object. For example, the template body might look like this:

```xml
<div><h3>$[name|no name specified]</h3><span>$[description|no description]</span></div>
```

When this template is applied, the `$[name|no name specified]` field will be replaced by the `name` field value of the object the template is used for.

If the `name` field is not set for an object, the default value will be substituted. Similarly for `$[description|no description]`.

When describing geographic objects with YMapsML, you can use such tags as [gml: name](https://yandex.ru/dev/maps/ymapsml/doc/en/ref/reference/gml-name.md), [gml: description](https://yandex.ru/dev/maps/ymapsml/doc/en/ref/reference/gml-description.md), and [gml: metaDataProperty](https://yandex.ru/dev/maps/ymapsml/doc/en/ref/reference/gml-metaDataProperty.md) for storage and subsequent display of data.

For security reasons, HTML markup can only be stored in the [gml: description](https://yandex.ru/dev/maps/ymapsml/doc/en/ref/reference/gml-description.md) tag. All other tags must contain text only, and HTML markup in them is shown on the screen.
