Nothing to do with the syntax. I was trying to fix line number reporting and
in the process I ended up improving the generated Python code with some
optimizations.
Not related to the above fixes, but I'm also trying to see if templetor can
be extended to generate javascript. I'm working on some AJAX heavy stuff
recently and I'm ending up writing a template in Python and another in
Javascript. It'll be cool if both of these can be combined.
I'm not yet sure if this should go with web.py, but I'm trying to do it by
defining a jsdef block in templator which works like def but also generates
javascript function to generate the same html.
Here is an example:
$def with (page)
$jsdef render_authors(authors):
<ul>
$for a in authors:
<li><a href="$a.key">$a.name</a></li>
</ul>
<div id="#authors">
$:render_authors(page.authors)
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
function update_authors(authors) {
// Above jsdef must have added a render_authors function, use it to
update #authors
\$("#authors").html(render_authors(authors))
}
</script>
