Initially I was a strict comments-only syntax user. Over the years I've changed my view a little. I now use comments-only syntax everywhere *except* inside tag attributes, e.g.: <img src="<TMPL_VAR myimage>"> as opposed to <img src="<!-- TMPL_VAR NAME="myimage" -->"> which screws up syntax higlighting to the Nth degree. I could probably use: <img src="<!-- TMPL_VAR myimage -->"> or <img src="<!-- TMPL_VAR NAME=myimage -->"> But I figure that when I'm inside an attribute I need to remove as much 'fluff' as possible to keep it legible. Using the comment syntax elsewhere means that it shows up clearly in vim, rather than just blending in (and should pass any HTML validation too) Just my tuppence, Chisel -- e: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | If you play a Windows XP installation w: http://www.herlpacker.co.uk/ | CDROM backwards, you hear a message gpg: D167E7FE | from Satan.
