Chaining in templates is usually achived using template filters, though, a'la https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/templates/builtins/?from=olddocs#safeseq. Our goal with the template representation stuff was to leverage as much of the existing Django ecosystem as possible. For instance, we were able to use a common thumbnailing template tag library without modification. But in general, if you want dynamic bits in pieces inside of a serializable/cachable mostly-HTML document, a Django template kinda makes sense. We'll likely kill off the explicit {% .. %} syntax and build the template tree manually in order to simplify the process of writing page plugins. --Philip _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
