RE: [Phplib-users] Template problems

[Rob H. <rob...@ws...>]

  To provide a little more information, I have looked at code written by
others and I have not found anyone using layered blocks.  All the code that
I have found achieves a similar effect by defining blocks linearly and
putting a placeholder where the sub block would go and parsing into this
variable.  Is this a better way of going at things?
