Re: default value for boolean

According to documentation this will test variable existence, not its value:

"This operator tells if a value is missing or not. Depending on that, 
the result is either true or false."

But I want to test value of the variable, which might be missing.
See my fix I had to do:

<#if EDIT_MODE!> 	

was replaced by

<#if EDIT_MODE!false>

The original code was

<#if EDIT_MODE?if_exists>
