I often find myself wrapping the same boiler plate around [[ikiwiki/directives/img]] img directives, so I tried to encapsulate it using the following [[ikiwiki/directives/template]]: <div class="image"> [\[!img <TMPL_VAR raw_href> size="<TMPL_VAR raw_size>" <TMPL_IF alt> alt="<TMPL_VAR raw_alt>" <TMPL_ELSE> <TMPL_IF caption> alt="<TMPL_VAR raw_alt>" <TMPL_ELSE> alt="[pic]" </TMPL_IF> </TMPL_IF> ]] <TMPL_IF caption> <p><TMPL_VAR raw_caption></p> </TMPL_IF> </div> The result, even with htmlscrubber disabled, is mangled, something like <div class="image"> <span class="createlink"><a href="http://jmtd.net/cgi? page=size&from=log0.000000old_new_test&do=create" rel="nofollow">?</a>size</span> </div> Any suggestions gladly received. -- [[Jon]] > Well, you *should* be able to do things like this, and in my testing, I > *can*.
