hi jeff, thanks for your response.
writing tags to replace macros looks like an overkill to me.
especially because a macro may hold a content that's specific to a
template and such a thing naturally belongs to the template itself and
shouldn't go somewhere deep into the python codebase.
have this example simplified from my app i'm where with Jinja I could
have:
{% macro display_person name, email %}
<p><a href="mailto:{{ email }}">{{name}}</a></p>
{% endmacro %}
<h2>Subscribed people</h2>
{% for person in persons.subscribed %}
{{ display_person(person.name, person.email) }}
{% endfor %}
<h2>Not subscribed people</h2>
{% for person in persons.notsubscribed %}
{{ display_person(person.name, person.email) }}
{% endfor %}
having "display_person" as a template tag looks like a total overkill
given the relative complexity of writing template tags. and having the
simple <p><a ...></p> in a separate file for 'include' doesn't look
sane either. it's just a piece of reusable html/template that
logically belongs to the template itself.
is there any way perhaps with 'block' tag to achieve this macro-like
behaviour?
thanks
papa
