</MTIfNotEqual>

</MTArchiveList>
<MTArchiveList archive_type="Category">
<MTIfEqual a="[MTGetVar name='this_cat']" b="[MTArchiveTitle]">
<$MTArchiveTitle$>
</MTIfEqual>
<MTIfNotEqual a="[MTGetVar name='this_cat']" b="[MTArchiveTitle]">
<a href="<$MTArchiveLink$>"><$MTArchiveTitle$></a>
</MTIfNotEqual>
(<$MTArchiveCount$>)<br />
</MTArchiveList>
