Re: [Semediawiki-user] Use of cascaded templates

[Yaron K. <ya...@gm...>]

Hi,

Forms-related questions don't belong on this list - those should be sent to
the Semantic Forms mailing list (http://groups.google.com/group/semantic-fo=
rms
).

To answer your question, though, unfortunately Semantic Forms doesn't
currently handle cascaded/nested templates - it would make parsing rather
complicated. There should be a way to achieve whatever display you want
using a series of templates, instead of one cascaded template, though it
might take a little more work to put together.
