Directives for product template

In such case you can use {{attribute code="brand,manufacturer"}}. With configurable product this directive can return values of attribute from child products. You can set max number of values (limit="5") and separator (separator=", "). exclude option allows you to exclude some values from output. It can containe multiple values separated with comma. max_length sets max length in characters for output. By default it respects words and doesn’t cut them. break_words="1" will force to cut words. etc sets trailing string that will be added after output truncate.
