It's not "inclusion" in the style of PHP (where it's treated as
though the included template was placed inline in the containing
template), but it does make the `render` object an automatic global
for templates, so you can use that to easily call other templates.
It currently also supports a sort of inheritance by way of $return. I
think Aaron doesn't like that; I'm still open to other ideas. I was
thinking of adding support for decorators ([EMAIL PROTECTED] at the top of the
template, before any $def line), and including an `inherit` decorator
which would also be an automatic global, and would look something
like this:
def inherit(parent, *args, **kwargs):
def dec(func):
def _f(*_args, **kwargs):
return parent(func(*_args, **kwargs), *args, **kwargs)
return _f
return dec
For example, if you have these templates:
#base.html
$def with (body, title)
<title>$title</title>
$:body
#index.html
Hello
Then adding [EMAIL PROTECTED](render.base, 'Hi') to the top of index.html
would make it equivalent to calling render.base(render.body(), 'Hi').
(Also equivalent would be adding `$return render.base(self, 'Hi')` to
the bottom.) I suppose we should narrow this down (or at least
standardize on one preferred style) on the principle of "There should
be one -- and preferably only one -- obvious way to do it."
