Re: [PHP Template] dynamic blocks

So they are already going to see the variable names when viewing static html. {foo}. What is so wrong with also seeing the dynamic declarations? The only viable alternative I see is angle brackets, but having used such a system, I can say that it gets *very* confusing, when you start having things like: <section: link> <a href="<link>"><font face="<fontface>" size="<fontsize>" color="<fontcolor>"><linktext></font></a> </section: link> compare that to: {section: link} <a href="{link}"><font face="{fontface}" size="{fontsize}" color="{fontcolor}">{linktext}</font></a> {/section: link} I think that whatever we decide, it should be consistent between variables, sections, and any other tokens we decide to use, such as ifs. Note, I actually prefer "{{" to "{" because it means that people won't need to escape single "{", which are a more common occurrence. -dan Andrei Zmievski wrote: > On Wed, 16 Feb 2000, Ludovico Magnocavallo wrote: > > Andrei, my point is that designers will work on BARE templates, and open > > them up in netscape or ie to test layout, etc. indipendently from any > > engine or script.
