# <vDefault>

`<vDefault>`

(value default) declares the default value to be supplied when a feature structure does not contain an instance of `<f>` for this name; if unconditional, it is specified as one (or, depending on the value of the `org` attribute of the enclosing `<fDecl>`) more `<fs>` elements or primitive values; if conditional, it is specified as one or more `<if>` elements; if no default is specified, or no condition matches, the value `<none>` is assumed.
