Re: patch for IT.php

One more thing I want to make clear is that I don't to go to a template engine like that other thread that just started discusses...in my mind a template engine like that is of no use to me (by no means do I think it it crap, just not useful for my uses). I need a template engine that is blind to the backend language completely, and ITX gives me exactly that...My web designers don't want to know anything about for loops or the like, ITX is the direction I want to go.
