Re: [htmltmpl] RFC: Template Tag Attributes

[Alex K. <ka...@ra...>]

  I'd suppose supplying your filter program with a list of exclusions
(regexps or whatever). If a particular file your program is run
against is in the list then do not index it. This is much more easier
compared to tagging all <TMPL_INCLUDE> constructs and is flexible too.
Think that you could just exclude all qr/_header\.tmpl$/

  And there's of course a question whether you really want to index
templates which are metadata of your website or its content.
