Could HTML::TEMPLATE be reworked to allow for a more XML-friendly syntax? What I have in mind: Depreciate the current syntaxes for variables and inclusions. Replace the former with an Entity-based model: &VAR.variable_name; Replace the latter with a Processor Instruction-based model: <?TMPL_INCLUDE url ?> The biggest benefit of doing this is that a syntax-highlighting editor won't choke on it. Don't get me wrong: I understand the need for (some) backward compatability; that's why I suggest depreciating the current variable and include syntax instead of outright removing it. ===== Jonathan "Dataweaver" Lang __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
