replace things...

  • n.replace(value,tag,**attributes)

    • all arguments are optional
    • True means “leave as is”

what if I want to keep it all in one place?

  • code blocks
    • one per template
    • executed on render
    • executed when explicitly requested

what about macros?

  • t.clone()
    • will be cheap
    • allows partial rendering
