Did you know that you can nest Texpattern tags in your article body? This is super neat (and probably pretty obvious) but I never realised until now. I’ve been fiddling with a new section called ‘etc’ (maniacal rage inspired name) and wanted to add articles in the usual manner but needed to list a bunch of file downloads. At first I thought I’d have to hard code the relevant tags into my page template… Hoorah for tag parsing in articles! :)

With an RC5 release over at Textpattern.com it looks like things are gathering pace and Dean is ‘finally’ on the brink of a ’1.0’ release. I know I’ve said it before, but I think this time they really are getting close!
