Re: loop context variables - misleading documentation

Ok. I see that the latest version of H:T 2.7
references the loop context vars as all lower case,
which is on point. It's the documentation on
sourceforge, which google lists first for
HTML::Template :-), that is misleading - I guess
sourceforge will catch up to the recent documentation
or fade away... Anyway, I did happen to find an error
in the documentation while copying and pasting code.
Under loop_context_vars section, there's a closing
TMPL_IF that is missing the slash. Here's a patch for
the 2.7 docs (I'm not sure if this is the place to
post such patches):

@@ -762,7 +762,7 @@ Example:

       <TMPL_IF NAME="__last__">
         This only outputs on the last pass.
-      <TMPL_IF>
+      </TMPL_IF>
    </TMPL_LOOP>

BTW, I've been using H:T for a number of years. It's
perfect. Thanks.

Paul
