Why not use '.mako' as Mako template file extension?

[Bibby]

webpy use '.html' as default template file extension, why not use
'.mako' ('.tmpl' or whatever) for Mako template engine? it's easy to
know what template engine it used.

You can override the __getattr__ method of
web.contrib.template.render_mako to achieve that.

See this: http://dpaste.com/85078/ .
I have used jinja because I already had a sandbox setup using it.

Yes, i modified this method.
i mean why not use this extension as default?

1. there is no such convention in mako, as far I know and I have used
mako since it's myghty days.
Also, if you see the frontpage of makotemplates.org, the example
uses ".html" . "

2. gives sensible defaults. In web.py, .html always means a template.
This is convention over configuration.
3. The IF-ELSE blocks just increases the amount of code in the base library.

I don't use the web.py integration with mako, but I use mako
templates. I have vim configured to give me mako syntax highlighting
for .mako files.

Hi, Bjorn.

Could you share your vim config about mako syntax highlighting?

Thanks. :)

[Bjorn Tipling]

It's not my vim config it's a syntax script available at
http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=1858

You then create a mako file in the .vim/ftdetect folder

:he ftdetect or http://vimdoc.sourceforge.net/htmldoc/filetype.html

Thanks, it works.

* Download mako.vim from http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=1858,
copy it to ~/.vim/syntax/.
* Then add this line in ~/.vimrc:

----<----
au BufRead,BufNewFile *.mako set filetype=mako
----<----
