The following re-write allows for multiple definitions of the
-same tag value in a template definition. This, in turn, allows
-us to use TMPL_LOOPS in our template directives; all-be-it in a
+same tag value in a [[plugins/template]] definition. This, in turn, allows
+us to use TMPL_LOOPS in our [[ikiwiki/directive/template]] directives; all-be-it in a
rather limited way.

+>> Yes, my apologies for that. The two worker functions `mktmpl_hash`
+and `proc_tmpl_hash` are new. The `preprocess` function then starts
+by arranging the parameters into an array. This array is passed to the
+`mktmpl_hash` and it creates a hash, suitable for passing into the
+HTML::Template directly. The `proc_tmpl_hash` then walks the hash
+structure and processes the parameters.

+>> I know ... you weren't looking for an explanation, just a patch
+... totally understand. Point I'm trying to make, it's a 90% re-write
+anyway (and my `style(8)` will probably piss most people off).
+
+>> Anyway, would love to contribute so will try to get to doing this
+"correctly" and post as a patch.

I would, personally, only use this feature for very basic loops
and, although nested loops *might* be possible (with a little
more tinkering) it think any attempt would be better served by
my $page = $params{page}->[$#{$params{page}}] ;
my $destpage = $params{destpage}->[$#{$params{destpage}}] ;
# ... and an essential one for the production pass
- $params{basename} = IkiWiki::basename($page) ;
+ $params{basename} = [ IkiWiki::basename($page) ] ;
# load the template
my $template ;
data0="cell0:0"
data1="cell0:1"
