Hi Tony,

I run into this issue all the time, and I asked the question on the list myself a while ago.

The answer is that Radius cannot parse "tags-within-tags". Not even when the outer tag is a standard HTML tag, and not a Radius tag. I usually end up writing custom tags in cases like this, but perhaps someone has a more efficient solution?

Cheers,
Casper

Hello all,

Sorry if this is a newbie-ish question; I've checked the FAQ and skimmed the
source a bit, and haven't found any obvious solution.

I'm in a position where I want to evaluate a Radius tag and insert the
resulting text into the value of an HTML attribute. My use case involves the
page_attachments extension, and I'm trying to do something like this:

<r:attachment:link title="<r:attachment:author />"> Click here
</r:attachment:link>

Which is to say, I want the title of the link to be the attachment author's name. However, this is not well-formed XML, and anyhow the Radius parser
doesn't seem to parse into attribute values.

Is there a canonical way to do what I want? I'm aware that I could simply
tweak page_attachments_tags to do things my way, but that feels like
cheating to me...

Cheers,
  -Tony
