My feeling is that it should not hide the parent by default. However, we could do something like change the allowed values of autohide to "all | none | vars | sections". This gives the developer pretty fine grained control at every level in the hierarchy. This also opens the door to autohide="$varname", which means only autohide for that particular var. Dunno if we wanna get that crazy or not. If so, what to do about multiple vars? -dan Andrei Zmievski wrote: > Another design question: > > Let's say you have the following situation: > > {{section sec1 autohide="on"}} > Category: {{ $category }} > {{section sec2 autohide="on"}} > Article: {{ $article_headline }} > {{/section sec2}} > {{/section sec1}} > > If the $article_headline variable has no value, section 'sec2' will be > hidden.
