I thought about that. Then I tried typing it: [%-- foo --%] [%~ foo ~%] I thought the '--' made it look too long, whereas the '~' snuggled in nicely. Also, it might interfere with a future --foo / foo-- decrement operator: [% --foo %] vs [%-- foo %] vs [%--foo%] [% foo-- %] vs [% foo --%] vs [%foo--%] But rather than making a unilateral decision on such an important matter, I took the scores from 12 judges, had the computer randomly discard 3 of them, summed the remaining 9 scores, multiplied the convenience factor by the inconvenience ratio, added the addition character compensation correction amount and the result was... ...the '~' won. :-) A (http://www.stat.yale.edu/~jay/EC2006/ for those who haven't got a clue why I'm talking about all those judges) _______________________________________________ templates mailing list [email protected] http://lists.template-toolkit.org/mailman/listinfo/templates
