Interesting. I too was missing macro support, and implemented something similar a couple weeks ago: http://www.djangosnippets.org/snippets/343/ Michael > -----Original Message----- > From: django-users@googlegroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > On Behalf Of Michal Ludvig > Sent: Saturday, August 11, 2007 4:51 AM > To: django-users@googlegroups.com > Subject: Support for macros in templates > > > Hi all, > > This is a little announcement of a tag library for {% macro %} support > in Django templates. > > I have been using TAL template engine in my previous project and got > used to the concept of "macros" as building blocks of the final HTML > output.
