.... extended-attribute syntax (foo-name-name="x" instead of foo="_[_[x]]"). HELP! I am sure, that such an extended attribute syntax would cause hundreds of messages in this list.
I hope, it will not get adopted.
I have considered proposing that we graft <dtml-let>'s capabilities onto the other tags, so that we could write stuff like:
<dtml-var set-foo="getFoo()" var=foo set-param1=" 'text' " set-param2="id"> That is better.
Only: What does the "var=foo" mean? The thing that should be rendered? Then (with respect to this), the current syntax is clearer. Or: Should this be equivalent to: <dtml-var "getFoo(_.None,_,param1='text', param2=id)>? Then, it is not at all obvious. "getFoo" seams to be called explicitly without parameters. Clearer would be: <dtml-var getFoo set-param1="'text'" set-param2="id"> Dieter
