Does the indentation in the templator matters as it in Python?

[Makto]

I saw the example in the web.py documentation:

Here is a simple template:

$def with (name)
Hello $name!

There's no indentation and even colon, which I'm familiar in Python, in the first line.

Is this format designed to be and required?

Or both are OK?

[Anand Chitipothu]

Yes.

 

Or both are OK?

No.

Thanks:)

But I saw some different codes on the same page:

Another example:

$def tr(values):
    <tr>
    $for v in values:
        <td>$v</td>
    </tr>

$def table(rows):
    <table>
    $for row in rows:
        $:row
    </table>

Here, colon and indentation are used.

I'm confused.

Of course, the best way to solve this is to test it myself....

I just hope the confusion could remind our guys of the ambiguity of the documentation.

The "$def with" at the beginning of template is a special case without colon and no indentation. Except that everything else looks very much like Python.

Got it!

Can we treat the "def with (v1, v2, ...)" as a declaration of all the variables(v1, v2...) that will be used in the template?

Yes, but it is more than that.

You can say:

$def with (v1, v2, v3="foo")

or

$def with (v1, v2, **kwargs)

etc.

The first form is commonly used, but the latter one is rarely used.

Wow~many thanks!

The official documentation just has so much things uncovered ==
