Item5388: Nested templates are not published

In my skins I have come to rely on constructs like $percntTMPL:P, as in:

%TMPL:DEF{"breadcrumb:currentweb"}%%IF{"'%TOPIC%'!='WebHome' and $WEB!='%MAINWEB%'" then="$percntTMPL:P{$quotbreadcrumb:subweblink$quot}$percnt"}%%TMPL:END%

Unfortunately PublishPlugin does not render these. Now my breadcrumbs are empty.

I had to change the above DEF into:

%TMPL:DEF{"breadcrumb"}%%TMPL:P{"breadcrumb:title"}%%IF{"'%TOPIC%'='WebHome' and '%WEB%'='Main'" then="Home" else="%TMPL:P{"breadcrumb:wikitoolname"}%%TMPL:P{"breadcrumb:currentweb"}%%TMPL:P{"breadcrumb:parents"}%%TMPL:P{"breadcrumb:currenttopic"}%"}%%TMPL:END%

So a number of things are different in the published topics:

• Variables are interpreted differently. Note the 'official' $WEB and the new %WEB%.
• $percntTMPL:P does not work but %TMPL:P{ does. But this causes a lot of quoting troubles. Each included module must use single quotes. This is a pain, especially since out of the box syntax does not 'just work'.

I recall addressing something like this in the recent changes; can you please check again and see if there's still a problem? AFAIK the plugin should behave exactly like a view of the topic with the given skin (that's all it really is, when it comes down to it)

Problem fixed.
