Hi out there :)
How would you do repeating texts or conditional texts like this? I mean, perhaps it's obvious; I haven't played enough with ZPT yet.
Just for your info: there is one product that tries to address this problem: TERRY http://www.zope.org/Members/lalo/TextTemplates It is a modified version of TAL that doesn't use XML but a custom syntax: %(tal:content="here/fgcolor" black)% I don't now, if this makes things easier, but it would ensure at least the use of TALES and has similar usage.
I also think this looks rather unnatural when doing email templates or SQL templates.
I used to think that, I'm quickly changing positions. Perhaps the only option I'd like is a check box somewhere on the template object saying something like "always include tal:omit-tag by default. Then I reckon it could do for everything :-)
cheers,
Chris -- more and more a ZPT-ONLY! fan each day...
