Well I could, but basically I've got a really long document containing
blanks that are populated by answers to a questionnaire, and so when
it comes time for changes to be made to the document and/or
questionnaire it'd be nicer to maintain one single document.
Perhaps I could use wrappers and blocks for things like headings, and
get the format (latex or html) from a CGI query param, and set the
various wrappers accordingly, e.g.
[% BLOCK html_section %]<h2>[% content %]</h2>[% END %]
[% BLOCK latex_section %]\section{[% content %]}[% END %]
...
[% USE q = CGI %]
[% format = q.param('format') %]
[% IF format == 'html' %]
[% section = html_section %]
[% ELSE %]
[% section = latex_section %]
[% END %]
...
[% WRAPPER section %]Some Section Title[% END %]
I'll have to try this when I'm back in the office... I just thought of
it now while reading the docs. Please let me know if I'm too
sleep-deprived to make any sense ;)
