Hmm, good point. The proposed patch allows nested includes in say unicode or latin-5, but does not allow you to include a latin-5 template from within a unicode template. An "encoding" attribute for TMPL_INCLUDE would make that possible, but it would be necessary to define what happens with deeply nested tmpl_includes, where only some of them have an encoding attribute. Obviously such constructs are error-prone in practice and would require quite a few different test cases in the suite. Without bug-reports from users that actually try to run such a setup, I would declare the issue hypothetical and avoid the added complexity. > Thanks, > -Sven Regards, Erik ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
