You might look at another approach. Still use TT to generate the normal page, and if you need to email it you can use HTML::FormatText (or HTML::FormatText::WithLinks) to change it to plain text for the emails. I've been pretty happy with it. -- Michael Peters Developer Plus Three, LP _______________________________________________ templates mailing list [email protected] http://lists.template-toolkit.org/mailman/listinfo/templates
