Give <txp:article_custom /> ability to be tag pairs
It would stop me having to make a new form for little things.
e.g.
<txp:article_custom section="stuff">
<li><a href="<txp:permlink />"><txp:title /></a></li>
</txp:article_custom>Offline
Re: Give <txp:article_custom /> ability to be tag pairs
Yes, that would be nice, not just for article_custom, but for all the tags that have a form attribute. With break and wraptag attributes (for tags that generate lists).
Especially for the smaller forms, it’s often easier to see it all at once in the template than having to switch between template and forms. And it would reduce the number of forms I need, which is good, because that list just keeps growing.

I think that’s reasonable enough. It could go into crockery.

Re: Give <txp:article_custom /> ability to be tag pairs
Great, thanks. I think it is definitely worth considering as it would save people a lot of output forms. A recent project I was doing I had about five output forms just for different tiny lists like that.
I wonder if it would be possible to have it on <txp:article /> too.
Good point about the wraptags too Ruud.

Might that help with nested if tags?

Re: Give <txp:article_custom /> ability to be tag pairs
anoke, if I understand your question correctly, that would a change in the tag parser. The one in crockery does this correctly, I think.
