`default` checks whether a given value is set and returns a default value if it is not. *Set* in this context means different things depending on the data type:

`default` can be written in more than one way:
```
{{ index .Params "font" | default "Roboto" }}
{{ default "Roboto" (index .Params "font") }}
```go-html-template
{{ .Params.font | default "Roboto" }}
{{ default "Roboto" .Params.font }}
```
Both of the above `default` function calls return `Roboto`.
A `default` value, however, does not need to be hard coded like the previous example. The `default` value can be a variable or pulled directly from the front matter using dot notation:
{{< code file="variable-as-default-value.html" nocopy="true" >}}
{{$old := .Params.oldparam }}
```go-html-template
{{ $old := .Params.oldparam }}
<p>{{ .Params.newparam | default $old }}</p>
{{< /code >}}
```
Which would return:
```
```html
<p>The default function helps make your templating DRYer.</p>
```
And then using dot notation
{{< code file="dot-notation-default-value.html" >}}
```go-html-template
<title>{{ .Params.seo_title | default .Title }}</title>
{{< /code >}}
```
Which would return
{{< output file="dot-notation-default-return-value.html" >}}
```html
<title>Sane Defaults</title>
{{< /output >}}
```
The following have equivalent return values but are far less terse. This demonstrates the utility of `default`:
Using `if`:
{{< code file="if-instead-of-default.html" nocopy="true" >}}
<title>{{if .Params.seo_title}}{{.Params.seo_title}}{{else}}{{.Title}}{{end}}</title>
```go-html-template
<title>{{ if .Params.seo_title }}{{ .Params.seo_title }}{{ else }}{{ .Title }}{{ end }}</title>
=> Sane Defaults
{{< /code >}}
```
Using `with`:
{{< code file="with-instead-of-default.html" nocopy="true" >}}
<title>{{with .Params.seo_title}}{{.}}{{else}}{{.Title}}{{end}}</title>
```go-html-template
<title>{{ with .Params.seo_title }}{{ . }}{{ else }}{{ .Title }}{{ end }}</title>
=> Sane Defaults
{{< /code >}}
```
