It does, as this simple test illustrates:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~] tpage
[% foo = 'hello';
bar = 'HELLO';
foo.match("(?i)^$bar\$") ? 'match' : 'no match'
%]
^D
match
tpage is great for quickly testing syntax issues like that.
I did test before making my rash statement ... but with *single* quotes around the RE -- heh. Thanks for the tip about tpage.

Perhaps you need to PROCESS the macros.tt template, not INCLUDE it.
PROCESS exports all variables/macros/blocks defined to the caller,
INCLUDE doesn't.
Yes, I did PROCESS my macros.tt, but it was inside header.tt, which got INCLUDED. Changing the outer inclusion to PROCESS solved. I'm coming to the conclusion that I should PROCESS everything, and leave INCLUDE for optimization time ...
Thanks a lot, Andy! This is my first project with tt2 and my appreciation for it grows the longer I use it.
