You can use: l() loc() |l |loc It also concatenates literals, eg, this would be extracted as one line: l( 'Foo foo foo foo foo foo foo foo foo foo foo ' _ 'bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar'); And won't extract any phrases that contain variables, eg: l('foo ${bar}') hope this helps clint _______________________________________________ templates mailing list [email protected] http://mail.template-toolkit.org/mailman/listinfo/templates
