[htmltmpl] Valid XHTML templates

[Tobias G. <lis...@e-...>]

Hi!

Is there any way to use a valid XHTML document as template? As far as I tried 
this seems to be not possible.

e.g.:

[1] valid XHTML, working:

<title><tmpl_var name="title"/></title>


[2] valid XHTML, but not working:

<option value="&lt;tmpl_var name&gt"><tmpl_var name="name"/></option>


[3] invalid XHTML, not working either

<option value="<tmpl_var name>"><tmpl_var name="name"/></option>


[4] invalid XHTML, but working (just removed the slash, this worked in [1]!)

<option value="<tmpl_var name>"><tmpl_var name="name"></option>


The template needs to be valid xml, to be processed for translations. My
current solution is to transform the valid XHTML to an invalid template
that HTML::Template can deal with. But I would prefer feeding HTML::Template
directly with the XHTML file.

Any ideas?

Someone mentioned a patch to use {%TMPL_xxx%} instead of <TMPL_xxx>. Is there
already a working version of this patch available?

bye,

Tobias
