Nul-parameter
From Achievo/ATK Wiki
The 'nul' parameter is functionality in the ATK version of Smarty which lets you pass the first parameter of a tag without a name.
Example:
{tag nulparameter}
Instead of:
{tag parametername="nulparameter"}
It is primarily used in tags that have only one parameter, making it easier to use.
Note: The name is derived from the dutch word for zero, 'nul'. Not to be confused with 'null'.
