        {{post::post_title}} 
        {{extras::permalink}} 

        <h2>Sanitize Fields to make them like a slug</h2>
        {{post::post_title--sanitize}}

3.7. Add taxonomy and tag filters

You can change the taxonomy or term in the initial query.

    [fetch taxonomy="tutorial_category" term="cat-leaps"] Show the {{post_title}} [/fetch]

This will add the following tax_query onto the request for the posts.

['tax_query'] =
    [
        'taxonomy' => $taxonomy,
        'field'    => 'slug',
        'terms'    => $term,
    ],

3.8. Content Note

If the post_content contains {{moustaches}} itself, these will NOT be parsed for now.

3.9. Help Example

<div>
    [fetch post_type="tutorial" posts_per_page='1']{{help}}[/fetch]
</div>
