Re: [htmltmpl] Question about syntax

[Dale W. H. <dal...@in...>]

Are these two items equivalent?

<!-- <tmpl_var name=3Dsomename> -->

<!-- tmpl_var name=3Dsomename -->

Thanks,
Dale

This fit's better as HTML/XHTML since it has a tag name and the=20
attribute it quoted. Probably the best if you are planning on=20
using other advance attributes of the tag (like ESCAPE, etc).

This is easier since you don't have to type the quotes. But if=20
the rest of your template is XHTML this would standout

This works well if you are using an (X)HTML editor that=20
specifically recognized HTML and nothing else. This will just=20
tell it to skip over you TMPL_VAR tags. Would also be better if=20
you put your templates through some kind of validation before=20
using them.

I like it too cause it's simple and easy, but it definitely would=20
stand out in an (X)HTML editor and may even cause problems=20
(depending on you editor).

There isn't really a difference in which one you use (unless you=20
are using other attributes besides name). Mainly just choices of=20
style and just making you editor happy.
