Re: [WebMacro-user] Templets and scope?

[Keats <ke...@xa...>]

I just looked at the code to refresh my memory.  There are three variables
supplied by the #eval directive:

$OuterVars - a reference to the local variable map of the top level calling
context.
$Self - a reference to the templet itself (useful for recursive calls).
$EvalDepth - current depth of recursion.

I'll update the Wiki page accordingly.
