I've recently been experimenting with KID templates and have been having troubles.
I like how the templates are setup from the quickstart which is also documented here: http://lesscode.org/projects/kid/wiki/LayoutTemplateRecipe Having some trouble adding my own match tempaltes to it though: ============ master.kid ============ <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd";> <?python import sitetemplate ?> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"; xmlns:py="http://purl.org/kid/ns#"; py:extends="sitetemplate, 'extras.kid'"> <head py:match="item.tag=='{http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml}head'"> <meta content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" http-equiv="content-type" py:replace="''"/> <title py:replace="''">Your title goes here</title> <link py:strip="1" py:for="css in tg_css">${css.insert()}</link> <link py:strip="1" py:for="js in tg_js_head">${js.insert()}</link> <meta py:replace="item[:]"/> </head> <body py:match="item.tag=='{http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml}body'"> <div py:strip="1" py:for="js in tg_js_bodytop">${js.insert()}</div> <p align="center"><img src="http://www.turbogears.org/tgheader.png"/></p> <div py:if="tg_flash" class="flash" py:content="tg_flash"></div> <div py:replace="item[:]"/> <div py:strip="1" py:for="js in tg_js_bodybottom">${js.insert()}</div> </body> </html> ============ welcome.kid: ============ <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd";> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"; xmlns:py="http://purl.org/kid/ns#"; py:extends="'master.kid'"> <head> <meta content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" http-equiv="content-type" py:replace="''"/> <title>Welcome to TurboGears</title> </head> <body> <strong py:match="item.tag == 'b'" py:content="item.text.upper()" /> <p>My Main page with <b>bold</b> text</p> </body> </html> ==================================== So both tempaltes are pretty much vanilla from the quickstart. My match template (replaces <b> with <strong> tag and upercases the text) does nothing. However if I remove xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"; from the welcome.kid <html> tag, my match tag works fine but of course the master template stops working. In an ideal world I would like the master template to inherit (py:extends) from another template that defines a number of match and named tempalte items, but I can't even get this basic functionality working. Most likely this problem is filled with many other PEBCAKs Using TurboGears 0.9a from SVN -Owen <><
