   6 feel free to reformat / delete"""]]

   8 The following re-write allows for multiple definitions of the
   9 same tag value in a [[plugin/template]] definition.  This, in turn, allows
  10 us to use TMPL_LOOPS in our [[directive/template]] directives; all-be-it in a
  11 rather limited way.
  12
  13 I would, personally, only use this feature for very basic loops
  14 and, although nested loops *might* be possible (with a little
  15 more tinkering) it think any attempt would be better served by
  16 [[Kathyrn Anderson's|http://www.katspace.org/]] [[field et
  17 al.|http://ikiwiki.info/plugins/contrib/field/]] plugin.
  18
  19 It *is* (primarily) intended to allow insertion of organised CSS
  20 blocks (i.e. `<div>`) through template directives (since i can't
  21 seem to get HTML and Markup to mix the way I want).
  22
  23 [[!template id="note" text="""
  24 Apologies for the re-write.  I struggle reading perl code that
  25 I didn't write and (probably too often) re-format to reduce my
  26 head-aches.  Anyway it didn't make sense to post the patch since
  27 everything's changed now.
