PET::Filter::General

PET::Filter

This Filter should be the first one in the chain. Currently it does only one thing: processes the {{:filename}} tag, which includes the named file into the source. If you use filters, you probably want to use this instead of using e.g. [% PROCESS “..” %] or [% INCLUDE “..” %]

FIXME: the documentation is incomplete. FIXME: code should be reviewed.
