Smarty

Terry151151

As there seems to be only one set of possible left and right delimiters is it possible to change the delimiters on the fly?
What I want to do is change the delimiters to /*{ and }*/ inside JavaScript because I often append Smarty variables to function names and this messes up Dreamweaver's JavaScript syntaxing.
So I'd like make the variables to look like comments to Dreamweaver. I don't always want to change it to /*{ and }*/ as I would have hundreds of templates to change and would have to go back and test everything; BIG JOB.

What I'd like to be able to do is:

{JavaScript} // Delimiters change here to /*{ and }*/
...
function /*{FUNCTION_MOFIFIER}*/FunctionName()
{
}
...
...
{/JavaScript} // Delimiters revert back to { and }

Is this possible without messing up the template compiler?

Regards
Terry

Use whatever alternate syntax you want like /*{ }*/ then create a prefilter that searches and replaces the /*{ with { and }*/ with } just before compile time.

Thanks for the clue I think a pre-filter should work.
