parsing templates multiple times

[Thomas Åhlen <th...@obidobi.net>]

I need a better way to be able to parse a template multiple times.
In the first parse I want to add static content and in the second parse I
will add the dynamic content.

Today my templates can look something like this:

\\#foreach ( $subnet in $subnets )
        <tr>
    \\#if ( $subnet.ServiceId == 0 )
          <td class="emboss" nowrap align="right">ingen
          </td>
    \\#else
          <td class="emboss" nowrap align="right">
            <a href="$module">$subnet</A>
          </td>
    \\#end
\\#end

this so the # directives won't be removed during the first parse. But this
notation \\# stinks hard since browsers remove one \ when you load a
template and display it in a TEXTAREA. So each time I try to modify a
template through a web page a have to add one \ to each directive.

My suggestion to a better solution

[template]
2#foreach ( $subnet in $subnets )
    ewewr
2#end

[template] after first parse
1#foreach ( $subnet in $subnets )
    ewewr
1#end

[template] after second parse
#foreach ( $subnet in $subnets )
    ewewr
#end

Anyone with the same problem as me?! What about my suggestion, this way you
can get better controll over when the directives should be executed.
