Its better to be consistently inelegant than schizophrenic. > People's expectations should be met. there is no right or wrong here and there is no common expectation that all people expect when they see something. i'm really sure we meet the expections of quite an amount of people if we have the template-language consistently case-sensitiv. smarty does not (and did never, and will never) touch the case of anything outside the delimiters. i feel very comfortable if smarty behaves the same inside the delimiters. it just took a bit for me to realize. :) a big amount of smarty is for people who are not interested in php or how it handles this and that, or how it php looks or fells or the like. there is no need to follow suit of php here. > xo boots > > __________________________________ > Do you Yahoo!? > The New Yahoo!
