Hi, Philip here.  Well, as long as the discussion is HTML-Template 
related, Sam says that it's okay to carry it on here.

I'll look into it.  unfortunately I've been having trouble with 
sourceforge over the last few days, and was away from mail for a few 
weeks before that.

 This did the trick, tags do their job in uppercase now.
But if I may ask another (probably stupid) question: where does the
<TMPL_INCLUDE> tag search for the includes?

I tried two classes in different contexts:
1.: a class for the command-line. the templates are located in the same
directrory. when i run that class it finds it includes and parses them. no
problem in this scenario.

2.: a servlet class that reads it template via getPathTranslated(). The
template is parsed correctly and outputs exactly what i expect, except if I
put a <TMPL_INCLUDE NAME="inc.tmpl"> in my template.
I guess the servlet doesn't know where the inc.tmpl isnt located. So I put
"path", "c:/templates" in template_init, but that doesn't work either.
Did I get the use of path wrong?

Yours,

Maybe you should look at the 'search_path_on_include' argument?  You can
turn off, in PERL
H:T at least, the behavior to look in the list of paths specified by PATH.
By default,
new search the folder of the parent template (I think.)
