[Chameleon] html template processing

[Paul Spencer]

there is no exclude capability right now.  Its a very 
straightforward/simplistic file-include capability with no attempt at logic.

I think a discussion on possible uses could be very interesting though 
... one enhancement we did make was that the [# #] and [$ $] directives 
are processed mulitple times now (i.e. until no more are found) which 
allows recursive inclusion.  This opens up the possibility to do 
something like:

[$toolset$]

and then pass something like:

toolset=[#../../general/html/tools_navigation.html#]

in the URL.  Having multiple include files with different combinations 
could then be managed via the GET request to the page rather than having 
to edit the page ...

Cheers,

Paul
