Guys,
Okay, we've been using TT2 for HTML templates for a while now with
great success. But I just tried to implement an email template and it
was a bit trickier, getting all the whitespace bits to work out. But
I think I have it all down except for one last bit.
I'll add that I ran into a little strangeness with a TT comment block
that was a one off so I just took it out of the template.
It was in a template of a XML document. While testing I commented out a
line of XML by putting the open command on the line above and the
closing on the line below. Like this:
[%#
<some:XML here="here">[% var42 %]</some:XML>
%]
The output ( if memory serves me correct ) included:
'</some:XML>
%]'
Since it was a one-off problem I just removed the offending lines. A
XML comment didn't serve the purpose at that time so I used this instead.
I how, after reading Buddy's posting, wonder if there is a
whitespace-ish issue since there was nothing on the line after the
'[%#'. I was going to test further but now have a new job, sans-XML --
so far, so it has gone even more back-burner than before.

Hi Rod,
I'm not sure I entirely understood your message, however, here goes.
The problem with your comment block there was that you were using a
'%]' inside of the comment block which effectively ends it. I use one of two tricks in this case. I'll either change the inner '%]' to '% ]' or I'll use a [% BLOCK %]comment here [% END %] for the comment instead.
Another trick that I have not tried, mostly cause it's a little more tedious is
to do the following for comment blocks.
[% TAGS <+ +> %]
[<+ comment here that uses [% var42 %] and all should be fine.
+>]
<+ TAGS [% %] +>
It would be nice if TT provided special comment tags to work around this issue.
If you already knew all this, feel free to ignore me. ;)
