What I mean is that the whole string
... {{inner1|...|???}} ... {{inner2|...|???}} ... {{inner17|...|???}} ...
{{inner18|...|???}} ...
is passed as the first argument of
{{outer| ... |language}}
instead of being hard coded in the template {{outer| ... |language}} since
the first argument is not known in advance.
Thanks,
Daniel Forgues
