[htmltmpl] setting template parameters from within the template?

[Thilo P. <thi...@we...>]

Hello,

is there a way to set template parameters from within the template?

I would like to do this because I have pages that include a common 
header (who doesn't ?)

<tmpl_include common_header>

and that header makes a page title.

<tmpl_var page_title>

At the moment, I have to set "page_title" in my application code (well, 
not really, it is factored out into a data file, but still...).

$tmpl->param(page_title => 'Whatever');

It would be nice if I could do something like

<tmpl_param page_title Whatever>
<tmpl_include common_header>

or even

<tmpl_include common_header with-params: ' page_title => Whatever' >

so that the design people (who edit the templates, but not the code) 
can set the page title (which is a purely presentational issue most of 
the time)
right in the template.


I am aware that this is probably difficult to implement, so just for 
the long-term wish-list...
