- Added support for default values using pipe syntax: {{VALUE:name|default}}
- Default value is used when user provides empty input
- Works seamlessly with suggesters and variable reuse
- Backwards compatible - existing templates continue to work
- Added comprehensive test coverage (16 test cases)
- Updated documentation in FormatSyntax.md
- Updated constants to include new syntax format
This implementation follows the approach from PR #569 but with improved
test coverage, documentation, and edge case handling.
Fixes #264
Closes #569
