THe marker cannot be a snippet.  This stuff is evaluated before the snippet
mechanism and order is important in this case.

I like Jeppe's approach and it separates the marker into a different
attribute from the snippet stuff.  Can you or Jeppe open a ticket on this?
 I'll take it unless Jeppe feels like he wants to do the work.

Hi<br>
<br>
I am in the process of switching to use data-lift=3D&quot;xxxx&quot; in fav=
or for<br>
class=3D&quot;lift:xxxx&quot; and it works great.<br>
However I expected it to work on the body tag as well but I could not<br>
get it to parse, am I wrong in assuming it should work ?<br>
<br>
For instance take a look at my Basic-SquerylRecord-User-Setup example<br>

<br>
...here I have switched to data-lift every ware possible expect for<br>
the following:<br>
<br>
&lt;body class=3D&quot;lift:content_id=3Dmain&quot;&gt;<br>
<br>
witch I assumed I would be able to write:<br>
<br>
&lt;body data-lift=3D&quot;content_id=3Dmain&quot;&gt;<br>
<br>
but it dose not work.<br>
</blockquote>
I think the data-lift only works for snippets and the content_id is not<br>
a snippet, but a special-cased marker.<br>
<br>
It would be nice to support not using the class attribute for anything<br>
Lift related.<br>
<br>
Otoh, since content_id is not a snippet perhaps we should not use<br>
data-lift=3D&quot;content_id=3Dmain&quot; but something else like data-lift=
-content-id=3D&quot;main&quot;<br>
<br>
Wdyt?<br>
</blockquote></div>
Thanks for the explanation Jeppe, now that I realize it is a &quot;special-=
cased marker&quot; and not a snippet it makes sense.<br>
Yes I agree that it would be great to be able to use data-lift for everythi=
ng lift related in the templates.<br>
<br>
Your suggestions is good, personally I think sticking with data-lift would =
be the cleanest approach from a user perspective as it would probably feel =
more natural and generate less questions on this list.<br>
<br>
How about, in addition to this &quot;special-cased marker&quot;, add a new =
