Ok, but [part of..] my proposal is more *general*. I propose to allow 
the setting of 'uservalues' (note the plural) from the command line. 
These can be used for whatever you want - including conditional logic in 
the templates. :-)

I haven't decided on the syntax, but it's going to be a couple of weeks 
before I can implement this. rest2web is gradually climbing to the top 
of my 'todo' list. Now if only a Firedrop user didn't keep adding 
features, I'd be free to work on rest2web. *sigh*

All the best,
