To specifically check that a param has been set to a falsy value.
Here we call the same shortcode three times. Note that the param is unquoted (boolean).
{{< foo >}}
{{< foo x=true >}}
{{< foo x=false >}}
If we want to set the default value to true:
{{/* Set default */}}
{{ $x := true }}
{{/* Get param */}}
{{ if .Params }}
{{ if isset .Params "x" }}
{{ $x = .Get "x" }}
{{ end }}
{{ end }}
{{/* Display param */}}
{{ $x }}
