I think this is an important point as many on this list will object to such a feature because of this. What I mean by this: The main obstacle is not the specific syntax but the feature in general. I mean this as a heads-up for the original poster to be not too disappointed when (not "if" - in my personal opinion) it gets shot down. > Here's some examples where this breaks, written in the context of an html doc: This is just the tip of the iceberg. > Maybe, you should consider something like this: > > <?:html: or <?:h: > <?:attr: > <?:url: > <?:js: > <?:css: I'm pretty sure for at least some of them one can find issues with a generic quoting, e.g. character encoding other than UTF-8. Or what schemes are allowed for a URL, e.g. you might want to disallow javascript:. All in all I much prefer this to be part of a framework which knows about edge cases than to be a language feature. Or maybe something like the template strings t"foo" in Python but that's a different approach to Twig-like templates. Regards, - Chris
