Using Mako 2

[voltron]

Hi all

I asked a question a while back about using Mako templates, in the
thread, it was suggested that one should leave these lines out
completely:

# The following template options are passed to your template engines
#tmpl_options = {}
#tmpl_options['myghty.log_errors'] = True
#tmpl_options['myghty.escapes'] = dict(l=webhelpers.auto_link,
s=webhelpers.simple_format)

this kills the Paste serve outright, the only thing that works is to
define an empty dict

tmpl_options = {}

Maybe the docs should reflect this?

[voltron]

Maybe I spoke too soon, on Ubuntu, it still just dies outright :-(

[voltron]

Could someone help me out with this problem? Its a Mako template that
does not render.
Thanks

I did some poking around. This is the Pylons debug:

CompileException: Could not read template using encoding of 'ascii'.
Did you forget a magic encoding comment? in file 'D:\Projects
\Pylons_projects\test\test\templates/standard.html' at line: 0 char: 0
1 <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
2 <html>
3 <head>
4 <title>F&#246;n</title>
5 <link rel="SHORTCUT ICON" href="img/favicon.ico">

I tried saving the file as UTF-8, that die not help at all, the Paster
server threw an exception :

File "memory:0x128a810", line 61, in render_body

UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xef in position
0: ordinal
not in range(128)

Does someone have an idea on the workflow of constructing templaters
for mako from plain HTML from designers?

Thanks

You may want to reads this:
http://docs.pythonweb.org/display/pylonscookbook/Using+Mako+templating+language

[voltron]

Thanks Bruno, I have read that. In a thread a few days ago I asked
questions about it, see this thread:

http://groups.google.com/group/pylons-discuss/browse_thread/thread/bceff9ef23772e5d/35aa3a21e4ce3e43?lnk=st&q=&rnum=30#35aa3a21e4ce3e43

The thing is, in the thread, 2 people mentioned that it was
unnecessary, which is true when one does not use umlauts

You definitely need a magic encoding comment because there's non-
ascii characters in your template.

Did you include the magic encoding comment when you did this? Some
editors will also use the utf-8 bom at the beginning of a file to
identify mark the file as being in utf-8 (so a magic encoding comment
isn't required). Python supports the utf-8 bom for .py files, however
mako only started supporting identifying the utf-8 bom in the latest
version (trunk).
