Comment (by Collin Grady <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>):
The fact that people recommend you to write a custom tag doesn't mean this
belongs in the base template system - recursion is ''not'' a common
request that I've seen :)
However, it is indeed quite easy to make an inclusion tag that recurses,
and it works fine. In addition, the behavior you need on each recursion
step is always going to be custom, so it'd be kind of hard to make one tag
that could do it nicely (though I don't know how jinja does it, they tend
to go waaaay beyond what the django template language is out to do).
