[htdig-dev] Re: expanding variables in page_list_header

[Lachlan A. <lh...@us...>]

Greetings Gilles,

Yes, I realised after I had shut down yesterday that what I was seeing=20
was not faulty recursive expansion of a template variable, but just=20
the natural behaviour of configuration variables being expanded.

The reason I thought it was sensible for the PAGEHEADER to have the=20
page list is that I assumed it was the page header(!), rather than a=20
separator for the page list.  I was wondering why the page would have=20
a different header depending on the number of pages, except for the=20
possibility of showing the page list.

Thanks for your patience in clearing that up :)

Lachlan
