Template functions rather than strings ... #73

Closed jamesladd closed 10 years ago

jamesladd commented 10 years ago

Maria is great and I have used it for a couple of projects that went onto production.

I was hoping that HTML templates could be functions rather than strings to allow some rudimentary combinatorial use?

Maybe you could detect if the type was a function and call accordingly?

How about overriding one of the following methods in a plugin?

The idea is that everything in Maria should be possible to change with a plugin. If a plugin needs some flexibility that Maria doesn't provide then that can be discussed as immediate changes in Maria. If something can be written as a plugin and that plugin proves to be a generally useful extension to Maria in a variety of situations then it can be considered for inclusion.
