Hi Tony,
...hrrrmmmm clear answer: yesno! :O)
Yes: It would be the cleaner and more flexible way to implement this, no doubt!
No : Currently it is the only thing inserting an header/template or
such into text. It would just add another file to care of. As
soon as I have more than a single template to handle, it will
surely the better way to do it with seperated files.
By the way: Is there a way to "puts" more than a single line?
Something like an HERE-doc?
:h <permutations of 'here-doc'>
gives me nothing...
Keep hacking!
