But in reality an IMG element has (at least) 24 attributes, some other elements have many more, which is a lot of fairly redundent code.
I was just looking at the Plugin::HTML docs and this is something like the functionality I am looking for except that I want to be able to create 'elements' which are in fact BLOCKs I have just tried to example my idea but found it came down to a problem 'identifying' elements within BLOCKs. I'll come up with a sensible way to address elements which will help to explain the goal. -----Original Message----- From: Andy Wardley [mailto:abw@;ourshack.com]On Behalf Of Andy Wardley Sent: 14 November 2002 11:08 To: Paul Tomlin Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Templates] INCLUDE context / NAMESPACE Paul Tomlin wrote: [...] > what I want to avoid is having to do something like > > [% INCLUDE img.tt2 > src = img1.src > alt = img1.alt > %] You could wrap it in a MACRO to make it a little easier to type: [% MACRO image(img) INCLUDE img.tt2 src=img.src alt=img.alt %] [% image(img1) %] [% image(img2) %] > I am looking at XML::Style but I think that may be limited > to styles as well. You could do something like this: [% USE xmlstyle img1 = { element => 'img', attributes => { src = img1.src alt = img1.alt } } %] Filter your documents through xmlstyle and any tags like: <img1 /> will be converted into <img src="blahblah.gif" alt="blah blah" /> A _______________________________________________ templates mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ourshack.com/mailman/listinfo/templates
