True. Its a rather naive system. What it does offer however is that you
can give it to the creative types and say "Just throw it together in
dreamweaver and put little {rarara} tags in the coders can take care of
the rest. What I've done in th past is to build a little render object
that has an abstract function thats overridden that (A) knows to load the
correct template (B) Knows how to fill in the details and (C) calls the
apply_template() function in the class. Then these can be nested or
whatever. You can then add goodness like cacheing etc to the rendering
core of the class.-- Shayne O'Neill.. trådkrämare http://perth.indymedia.org "I trust God speaks through me.
