Shouldn't you be able to set up the parameters by using: <!--#var SomeVariable fmt=SomeMethod?parameter1=value1--> or something similar? This is just a shot in the dark... Donner

I asked this before, but I don't recall getting any responses.

It seems that you can write

<!--#var SomeVariable fmt=SomeMethod-->

and SomeMethod -- assuming it is, for example, an External Method -- will be called. Unfortunately it seems SomeMethod is not called with any parameters -- meaning it cannot access the variable or value to be rendered.

Is this by design? Is there any way of extending fmt= by having it call our methods with the value as a parameter? I've successfully patched the appropriate source code to verify that it is indeed possible to do what I'm looking for, so... why not? Security reasons?
