Hi,

How can I dynamically include non-file templates?

This is my master template --

"""
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<html xmlns="..." xmlns:py="..." xmlns:xi="...">
<head />
<body>
<py:for each="widget_template in widget_templates">
<xi:include href="[How to include widget_template here?]" />
</py:for>
</body>
</html>
"""

where widget_template is a _string_ retrieved from a database --

"""
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<div xmlns="..." xmlns:py="..." py:strip="True">
<div>widget_info</div>
</div>
"""

Many thanks in advance!

Jerry

<?python
from genshi.template import MarkupTemplate
the_ctxt = locals().get('__data__', None)

?>
<html xmlns="..." xmlns:py="..." xmlns:xi="...">
<head />
<body>
<py:for each="widget_template in widget_templates">

${MarkupTemplate(widget_template).generate(the_ctxt)}
</py:for>
</body>
</html>

Thanks kindy, it works like a charm :)

BTW, does anyone think it worth being documented on the Genshi site?

In genshi 0.5.1, it seems like that the .generate() is not necessary,
but required in genshi 0.4.x.
