Technically speaking, that's not nested tags, but tags embedded in
double quoted strings.
Nested tags would look more like this:
[% ABC = [% 'prefix_'; CDE + 1; '_suffix' %] %]
Inside a double-quoted string the [% ... %] tag doesn't have any
significance. Instead you use $ and ${...}
So what you want is something like this:
[% ABC = "prefix_${ CDE + 1 }_suffix" %]
Unfortunately that doesn't work :-(
TT2 only evaluates simple variables inside ${...} and not expressions
so you'll need to use a temporary variable for now:
[% n = CDE + 1;
ABC = "prefix_${n}_suffix"
%]
TT3 will support both nested tags and expressions embedded inside strings,
but that doesn't help you much now.
Cheers
