Hi all!

I've been using Template::HTML for 3 months, I would like to ask you a few
questions

1) In our project we are using around 50 different templates, It is very
common for us to do something like:

<tmpl_loop departments>

<tmpl_if show_picture>
   <tmpl_if picture_url>
           <tmpl_include user_picture.tmpl>
   </tmpl_if>
</tmpl_if>

<tmpl_if users>
    <tmpl_loop>
       <tmpl_include show_user.tmpl>
    </tmpl_loop>
</tmpl_if>

</tmpl_loop>

So, some of our pages include 200 templates (we use shared_cached=>1). These
'include' strategy helps our designer because its HTML code is reutilized
over and over.
Would you say this is a correct approach? What about performace? I know be
need to benchmark, but it there any commets you can make? Thanks!



2) Wouldn't be nice to have a template comment tag?
I think it would be useful to describe template, and not generate HTML.  For
example:
<!-- <tmpl_comment>
 This template shows a user. bla bla
 Inputs:
  - bla bla
</tmpl_comment>
-->
or

<!--
# This template shows a user. bla bla
# Inputs:
#  - bla bla
-->

In our project we 'compile' the templates before installing to production,
so normal HTML comments are taken away, but I think that the 'comment' tag
would be interesting to have.


Thanks!
