This works, but I'm gonna whine that it's WAY too much typing :-)
Well, if you do this a lot, define a 'logo' document which contains it, then everywhere else you'll only need to call it once. If you want it to be more dynamic, make a 'showSubImage' document and make it say: <!--#with imgFolder--><!--#var "_[imgName]"--><!--#/with--> And then call it with: <!--#var "showSubImage(imgFolder=images,imgName='logo')"--> Unfortunately, this is actually longer than the original 'with' version, but at least it shows off some DTML hacking techniques. :)
Prefferable (though currently illegal) would be:
<!--#var logo with=images-->
Ugh. Please don't go there.
Somehow I think this could be useful for a lot of things... just don't ask me what else. Alas, I think this is how Perl got the way it is.
Yep. :) Always be wary of taking an initially simple and clever idea and then beating it to death with a dead horse, or something like that. :)
