This is where it talks about well-formed-ness http://tapestry.apache.org/component-templates.html
I have a very special case where I need to turn off the closing tag logic so I can do something programmable. I am a qualified developer and mature enough to track my own markup. And plus I have got some really thrifty things I want to do in between the seams. I dont want to spitout my 200 line table component from within my java class in order to accommodate my special case. The algorithm is such that is pre-exists long enough that it is actualized and there is no other simpler way. Any help with this is greatly appreciated. Thanks
