Well the issue is template is something like [* WELCOME *] which becomes something like ( for english ) Welcome [% first_name %] because the ordering of words in the phrase might change by language, so first pass inserts language phrase which then gets proceeded with actual variables. i'm open to other ideas. i like the prepending the tags, that works for me. the other option i thought of it to make [* WELCOME *] smarter, where it pulls in its phrase and processes it again BUT, that is way beyond my understanding of TT internals and w/o that knowledge, more work than I have time for. _______________________________________________ templates mailing list templates@template-toolkit.org http://mail.template-toolkit.org/mailman/listinfo/templates
