How do I print the body of a node? I am struggling to work out how to print a node body on a page.

I normally use something like this print $node-&gt;field_manufacturer[0]['view']; but I am unsure how to print the body of a node. 

How can I achieve it?
For Drupal 7, a better style is to use field_get_items. E.g.:

&lt;?php
  $body = field_get_items('node',$node, 'body');
  print $body[0]['value'];
