hm. this is true, but what i'm looking to do is a little different.
basically i want to do templating like you do in the views. so my view
would look like this:
__
hello, {{=user.first_name}},
{{=instruction.step}}
__
and instruction.step might have text like "your last name is
{{=user.last_name}}" -- is there a way to run code back through the
templating software? so that instruction.step could be parsed and pull
out {{=user.last_name}}?
i know this doesn't seem like a great idea, and i'm working to find
ways around it. but being able to use the db to do some templating
would be helpful for now.
thanks,
matt
