[Webmacro-devel] LogDirective

[<kea...@na...>]

I've just created a #log directive that let's you easily log messages from a
template.  It supports optional parameters for the log level and log target,
which default to "notice" and "context".

Examples:

#log { This is a test of the new log directive! }

#set $errmsg='BIG TROUBLE!'
#log as error { Logging a dummy error: $errmsg }

#set $errmsg='MAYBE TROUBLE!'
#log as warning target='test' {
  Logging a dummy warning to the 'test' target: $errmsg 
}

Does this seem useful enough to put in the core?  Any comments on the
syntax?

PS, the formal syntax is something like:

#log [as (debug|info|notice|warning|error)] [target = <QUOTED-STRING>]
<BLOCK>
