Andrew Ford <[email protected]> is hereby nominated as a Prince of the Realm.
His multimarkdown plugin works like a charm. Thanks. (If I can't program perl at the level of the guru's on this list, I can at least express my gratitude.) While I've got everyone's attention with Andrew's wonderfulness It occurs to me that another cool filter for TT would be the ability to use w3c's html tidy as a filter. It's really hard to write templates that have clean looking output html, AND has clean properly indented, commented tt2 code So far I can have blobs (excessive chomping. HTML that looks like curdled milk.) or if I have minimal space chomping, I have tags sprinkled over whitespace like dandelions on a lawn. Being able to automatically run the code through tidy could do a lot to fix this. More generically a filter that takes an arbitrary external command. With the overhead of starting an additional process this allows anything that reads from standard in, and writes to standard out to be used without creating a plugin and provider module for it. This also means that the command doesn't need to be written in perl, nor even run on your local machine. There is a plugin called pipe, but it doesn't seem to take arbitrary external commands. -- Sherwood Botsford Sherwood's Forests Warburg, Alberta T0C 2T0 http://www.sherwoods-forests.com 780-848-2548 _______________________________________________ templates mailing list [email protected] http://mail.template-toolkit.org/mailman/listinfo/templates
