[stringtemplate-interest] List of used Attributes from ST without formal parameters

[Dreyer Ulf (CR/APA3)]

Hi Terence,


  sorry for not answering but I was out of Town for some Time.

  I looked at tht StructureString and DebugString.
  At least the C#-Implementation of StructureString yealds next to nothing when
  anonymous Templates are used. The DebugString makes no distinction between 
  text- and action-chunks.

  Right now I'm thinking of restricting the use of anonymous templates in my Application.
  This brings me to a quick question:
  I'm trying to use ST to support a VERY easy template mechanism in one of
  our applications. It has to be very simple as nobody of the users will
  write anything as complex as <mylist:{i | something <i.foo> = some more <i.bar>}>
  So I'm thinking of removing(= not using) all anonymous Templates. 
  There will still be Template application like <myList:TemplateA()> or <TemplateB(myList)>
  but nothing fancy.
  
  This shouldn't reduce the power of ST right (only some convenience for experienced users)? 

  I will probably also disallow the <(expr)(argument-List)> and <attribute.(expr)> constructs.
  This WILL reduce the power of ST but I don't think these constructs are necessary for what we need
  and they are way to complicated.

  With these restrictions it will be a lot easier to deduce which variables/symbols are used in a
  given Template and its subtemplates.

  Is there any mayor flaw in this argumentation?

Thank you Terence
