Description: ------------ Would you consider adding support for IF conditions like x=="a"? It could have a syntax like flexy:if="x:#a#"? It is kind of cumbersome to create switch case conditions with only simple true/false conditions like flexy:if="x" or flexy:if="!x" as it stands right now.

good idea.. I'm not sure when it would be done.. If someone wants to send a patch, it would be faster..

I figured out a way to do this. Suppose you want something like this (remembering that string literals are enclosed in #hashes#: {if:user=#root#}<a href="...">Admin</a>{end:} This syntax isn't supported. My solution is to add to your object a function like this: function equal($x,$y) { return $x == $y; } and then, instead of the above (illegal) syntax, use this: {if:equal(user,#root#)}...<a href="...">Admin</a>{end:} Works perfectly!

Good thinking! Simple and effective. Thanks for the tip.

This trick is pretty powerful, actually. You want to have your template include other templates? Put something like this in the template html: {includeTemplate(#froggy.html#)} ... and something like this in your object definition: function includeTemplate($filename) { $content = new HTML_Template_Flexy(/* options... */); $content->compile($filename); return $content->bufferedOutputObject($this); } It works flawlessly!
