Added let tag documentation

parent 6297f70e
The let tag:
is a new tag that lets you create blocks like:
<!--#in "1,2,3,4"-->
<!--#let num=sequence-item
index=sequence-index
result="num*index"-->
<!--#var num--> * <!--#var index--> = <!--#var result-->
<!--#/let-->
<!--#/in-->
Which yields:
1 * 0 = 0
2 * 1 = 2
3 * 2 = 6
4 * 3 = 12
The #let tag works like the #with tag, but is more flexible in that
it allows you to make multiple assignments, and allows you to chain
assignments, using earlier declarations in later assignments. Notice
inthe ablove example, the 'result' variable is based on 'num' and
'index', both of which are assigned in the same #let expression.
Syntacticly, each argument to be evalulated in the head of the let
tag must be seperated by a newline. Enclosing an argument in double
quotes causes it to be evaluated by the DTML expression machinery.
Un-quoted arguments are referenced by name.
Evaluation is in sequence with the result of earlier assignments
available to later ones. Later assignments can also override earlier
ones, which can be helpful for longer step-by-step calculations. The
variables thus set are in effect for the life of the <!--#let-->
block.
