On a tangent: I suppose there must be a rule against truly recursive templates. Eg template a includes template b includes template c includes template a -- forever. Although theoretically this could work with proper conditionals, I don't think we wanna go there. I think it should bail and spit out an error in case of recursion. -dan waltb wrote: > Howdy, > Will this template engine do recursive parsing of templates to build a > page? > I want to be able to write 1 php script that handles all of my templates > without having to > know the template heirarchy prior to parsing the templates.
