Hi,
I see that this new feature offers the advantage of 2 less chars per line and
the disadvantage that it doesn't allow other html elements in the if/else/end
lines.
Are there any other differences?

> %% ELSE
> a is not set
> %% END

> Which is equivalent to:

> [% IF a -%]
> a is set to [% a %]
> [% ELSE -%]
> a is not set
> [% END -%]

> Enable it by setting the TAG_STYLE option to 'outline':

> Or by defining your own OUTLINE_TAG string:

> my $tt = Template->new({

> Or by using the TAGS directive to set the 'outline' style:

> [% TAGS outline %]
