Additionally, this will now allow completely invalid HTML templates. <shudder>

Simplified insert binding template syntax

     Project: Tapestry

    Reporter: Howard M. Lewis Ship
    Priority: Minor
     Fix For: 4.0


It would be desirable to support a simplified syntax for obtaining data via bindings and inserting it. A proposal has been to adopt ant-like syntax ("${...}") and interpret the expression within the braces as a binding reference. This would eliminate the need for many Insert components, i.e.:



<h1>${thread.title}</h1>

rather than:

<h1><span jwcid="@Insert" value="thread.title"/></h1>

Or:

${message:prompt}

rather than:

<span key="prompt"/>


This kind of substitution is less invisible, but generally less intrusive, than creating a new component.


Further, the use of the Any component could be reduced via support for:

<img src="${imagePath}"/>

rather than:

<img jwcid="@Any" src="ognl:imagePath"/>


Some questions occur; are the following legal?

<${element}> ... </${element}>
<img jwcid="@Image" src="${asset:foo}"/>
<div ${attribute}="${value}"/>


A final note: these bindings should be treated as we treat informal parameters today; this includes automatically expanding IAssets into their corresponding URLs.
